Evaluating the safety of FTL001 in patients with advanced solid tumors

A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Open-Label, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study of FTL001 in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This study is testing a new treatment called FTL001 to see if it is safe and effective for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other treatments.

What this trial studies

This open, multi-center Phase I clinical study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and initial efficacy of FTL001 in patients suffering from advanced and metastatic solid tumors. The study is structured in two parts: the first part involves dose escalation of FTL001, while the second part focuses on dose expansion. Approximately 26-44 participants will be enrolled, all of whom must have histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors that have progressed after standard treatments or for which no standard treatment exists.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced solid tumors that are refractory to standard treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with early-stage solid tumors or those who have not yet undergone standard treatment 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 solid tumors who have limited alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies evaluating similar investigational therapies for advanced solid tumors have shown promise, indicating potential for success in this approach.

Active primary or metastatic tumors of the central nervous system (except in patients who have previously been treated and discontinued treatment 4 weeks before the first study drug administration, symptomless patients who do not require long-term glucocorticoid therapy), seizures, spinal cord compression, or carcinomatous meningitis;
7. Have or have suspected active autoimmune diseases, including but not limited to systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, etc., but the following conditions can be included: Type 1 diabetes that can be controlled by alternative therapy alone, skin diseases that do not require systemic treatment (e.g. Psoriasis, vitiligo);
8. Suffering from clinical symptoms or symptomatic treatment of pleural fluid or ascites;
9.
