Evaluating SCTC21C for patients with CD38+ blood cancers

A Phase I Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of SCTC21C in Participants With CD38+ Hematologic Malignancies

Phase 1 Interventional Sinocelltech Ltd. · NCT06252298

This study is testing a new treatment called SCTC21C to see if it can help people with certain types of blood cancers that have come back or didn’t respond to other treatments.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, open-label, phase I study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of SCTC21C in patients with relapsed or refractory CD38+ hematologic malignancies. The study consists of a dose-finding stage where participants will receive escalating doses of SCTC21C, followed by a dose-expansion stage involving random assignment to two different doses. Participants will continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable adverse events occur.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with relapsed or refractory CD38+ hematologic malignancies who have failed standard therapies.

Not a fit: Patients with hematologic malignancies that do not express CD38 or those who are not relapsed or refractory may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat blood cancers.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel, similar studies targeting CD38 in hematologic malignancies have shown promising results.
