Evaluating LCB84 alone and with anti-PD-1 in advanced solid tumors

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of TROP2-Directed Antibody-Drug Conjugate LCB84, as a Single Agent and in Combination With an Anti-PD-1 Ab, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Run by LigaChem Biosciences, Inc. · NCT05941507 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new treatment called LCB84, both alone and with another drug, to see if it can help people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other therapies.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors that are refractory to standard of care.

Probably not a fit

Patients with early-stage tumors or those who have not exhausted standard treatment options may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of LCB84, a TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody for patients with advanced solid tumors that are resistant to standard therapies. The study is divided into two phases: Phase 1 focuses on dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of LCB84, while Phase 2 will expand on selected tumor types based on Phase 1 results. Patients will undergo biopsies to evaluate treatment response and safety throughout the trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors that currently have limited or no effective treatments.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving TROP2-directed therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promise, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
