Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have failed standard therapies and have at least one measurable lesion suitable for biopsy or injection.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors do not respond to the therapy or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, dose-escalation study to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of YB1-X7 injection in adults with advanced solid tumors. YB1-X7 is an attenuated Salmonella enterica strain designed to selectively grow in hypoxic tumor regions and release a therapeutic protein to induce tumor cell death. The study has three parts based on administration method: intratumoral injection, intravenous infusion, and intratumoral injection plus a PD-1 inhibitor, each using a standard 3+3 dose-escalation design. Participants must have measurable tumors, adequate organ function, and no effective standard treatment options remaining.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience tumor reduction or slowed progression and gain new treatment options for advanced disease.

How similar studies have gone: Earlier studies with similar engineered bacterial tumor therapies have shown safety signals and potential anti-tumor activity in some patients, but this approach is still early-stage.
