Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors including HNSCC, gastric/GEJ cancer, BTC, ESCC, ovarian cancer, and other listed indications who are progressing on or intolerant to standard therapies and have ECOG 0-1.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without the specific eligible tumor types or who fail to meet safety/biomarker criteria may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
The study uses a dose-escalation design to identify the maximum tolerated dose and optimal biologic dose of CR-002, followed by dose backfill and population-defined optimization with potential expansion cohorts. It includes screening, treatment, safety follow-up, and long-term follow-up, with regular disease assessments and pharmacokinetic monitoring. Participants must have measurable disease and meet tumor-type-specific criteria, and may provide archival tissue or undergo a biopsy. Enrollment is in multiple parts with possible additional cohorts based on safety and emerging data.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may receive a therapeutic option and researchers will learn appropriate dosing for CR-002 in diverse advanced solid tumors.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in similar dose-escalation designs for novel oncology agents have shown safety signals and potential activity; this approach is a standard path for establishing dosing for new therapies.
