Combining LTC004 with Toripalimab for advanced solid tumors resistant to immunotherapy

An Open, Single-arm, Phase II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of LTC004 in Combination With Toripalimab in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors Resistant to First-line Immunotherapy

This study is testing if a new treatment combining LTC004 with Toripalimab can help people with advanced solid tumors that didn't respond to previous immunotherapy.

Quick facts

• Phase: Phase 2
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 10 (estimated)
• Ages: 18 Years to 75 Years
• Sex: All
• Sponsor: Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Academic / other)
• Drugs / interventions: chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, Toripalimab

• Trial ID: NCT06490068 on ClinicalTrials.gov

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of LTC004 in combination with Toripalimab for patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to first-line immunotherapy. Eligible participants will receive LTC004 on specific days during the first two weeks, followed by a combination treatment starting from week five until disease progression or up to two years. The trial aims to determine if this combination can provide a new treatment option for patients who have limited alternatives.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have failed first-line immunotherapy.

Not a fit: Patients who have not received prior immunotherapy or those with tumors that can be surgically resected may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors that are resistant to current immunotherapy.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in combining immunotherapy agents, but this specific combination is novel and has not been extensively tested.
