Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with advanced solid tumors (including small cell lung cancer, melanoma, or prostate cancer) who have measurable disease, ECOG 0–1, a life expectancy of at least 3 months, and prior therapy toxicities recovered to Grade ≤1 are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), significant organ dysfunction, uncontrolled comorbidities, or without measurable metastatic disease are unlikely to benefit from this early-phase intervention.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a first-in-human, open-label Phase 1 dose-escalation study of DXC014 in adults with advanced solid tumors. The study will enroll patients with measurable disease and ECOG performance status 0–1 to identify the maximum tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicities, and the recommended Phase 2 dose. Investigators will collect pharmacokinetic and immunogenicity data and look for preliminary anti-tumor activity by RECIST v1.1. The trial is being run at three major cancer centers in China with standard safety requirements and recovery from prior therapy required.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, DXC014 could provide a new treatment option that shrinks tumors or slows disease in some patients with advanced solid tumors.
How similar studies have gone: DXC014 is being tested in humans for the first time, although other novel targeted and antibody-based therapies have produced benefit in some advanced solid tumors.
