Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced solid malignancies that are refractory to standard therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active second malignancies or those who have not progressed after prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1/2A study evaluates GV20-0251, a novel treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies. The study is structured in four parts, including dose escalation to determine safety and tolerability, and further assessment of anti-tumor activity in combination with Pembrolizumab. Participants will undergo a series of evaluations to establish the maximum tolerated dose and the pharmacokinetics of the treatment. The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of GV20-0251 both alone and in combination with an established immunotherapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with refractory solid tumors.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches, but this specific combination is being explored for the first time.
