Evaluating BND-35 for advanced solid tumors

A Phase 1, Dose Escalation and Dose Optimization Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Anti-tumor Activity of BND-35 Administered Alone and in Combination With Nivolumab or With Cetuximab in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1 Interventional Biond Biologics · NCT06274437

This study is testing a new treatment called BND-35, alone and with other drugs, to see if it can help people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard therapies.

What this trial studies

This open-label, multicenter study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of BND-35, both alone and in combination with nivolumab or cetuximab, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study consists of a dose escalation phase, where different doses of BND-35 will be tested, and a dose optimization phase to determine the most effective doses. Participants will include those with unresectable or metastatic cancers who have not responded to or are not eligible for standard therapies. The study will last approximately 58 months in total.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors who have histologically confirmed malignancies and are refractory to standard treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with active autoimmune diseases or those requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatments may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced cancers that are resistant to existing therapies.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel, similar studies involving combination therapies for advanced cancers have shown promising results.
