Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have progressed despite standard therapies or those who are unsuitable for available treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have previously received CLDN18.2-targeted therapy or 4-1BB agonists 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 Phase 1 clinical trial is an open-label, multi-center study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of TJ033721 (givastomig) in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The trial includes two parts: one focusing on monotherapy for patients whose disease has progressed despite standard treatments, and another examining combination therapy for treatment-naïve patients with specific types of gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers. Participants will receive TJ033721 along with nivolumab and chemotherapy as part of the treatment regimen.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have limited treatment alternatives.

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