Evaluating IBI389 alone and with sintilimab for advanced solid tumors

A Phase Ia/Ib, Open Label, Multicenter Study of the Safety and Efficacy of IBI389 Single Agent, and in Combination With Sintilimab, Administered to Patients With Advanced Malignancies

Phase 1 Interventional Innovent Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. · NCT05164458

This study is testing a new treatment called IBI389, both alone and with another drug called sintilimab, to see how well it works for people with advanced solid tumors.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity of IBI389, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with sintilimab and/or chemotherapy, in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study is divided into two phases: a dose escalation phase to identify the maximum tolerated dose and a dose expansion phase focusing on specific tumor types that express CLDN18.2. Participants will undergo evaluations to determine the effectiveness of the treatment regimen in managing their condition.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that are CLDN18.2 positive and have no standard treatment options.

Not a fit: Patients who have received anti-tumor therapy within the last four weeks or are currently participating in another interventional clinical study may not benefit from this trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited or no effective therapies available.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar immunotherapy approaches, indicating potential for success in this novel combination treatment.
