Evaluating IMC008 for advanced solid tumors

A Clinical Study on the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of IMC008 in the Treatment of CLDN18.2- Positive Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1 Interventional Changhai Hospital · NCT05837299

This study is testing a new treatment called IMC008 to see if it is safe and effective for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific marker called CLDN18.2.

What this trial studies

This is an open label, multi-center, dose-escalating clinical study aimed at assessing the safety and preliminary efficacy of IMC008 in patients with CLDN18.2 positive advanced solid tumors. The study will monitor dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) 28 days after administration of IMC008, with regular safety meetings to evaluate the progress and make recommendations on dose escalation and subject safety. Participants will be closely monitored to ensure their health and safety throughout the trial.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with advanced gastric cancer, esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma, or advanced pancreatic cancer who have CLDN18.2 positive tumor samples.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, lactating, or have certain infectious diseases such as HIV or active hepatitis may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors that express CLDN18.2.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is focused on a specific biomarker, similar studies targeting CLDN18.2 have shown promise in other contexts, indicating potential for success.
