Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with histologically confirmed advanced or unresectable solid tumors that express CCR8 and have failed or are unsuitable for standard therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients without CCR8 expression or who do not derive benefit from the combination may not experience tumor responses and could discontinue due to toxicity.

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

What this trial studies

This is a phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study evaluating IPG7236 plus toripalimab in adults with advanced solid tumors. Part A uses a 3+3 dose-escalation design to identify the recommended dose, comparing IPG7236 500 mg BID or 800 mg BID with toripalimab 240 mg every 3 weeks. Part B expands to about 40 CCR8-positive patients to further assess safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Eligibility requires confirmation of CCR8 expression or biopsy-proven CCR8 status, prior treatment failure or ineligibility for standard therapy, and measurable disease per RECIST 1.1.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience tumor stabilization or shrinkage and gain information on the tolerability of the combination.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies with similar immune-oncology combinations have shown varying efficacy; this study explores a novel CCR8-targeted context which is relatively new.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Written informed consent must be obtained before any study procedure is performed.
2. Men or women 18 years of age or older.
3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or recurrent malignant solid tumors that are metastatic or unresectable. (Subjects must submit tumor tissue sections from within the past 5 years for CCR8 expression testing. For subjects without paraffin-embedded tissues, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy may be performed. Subjects who cannot provide tumor tissue sections or undergo biopsy are only eligible for inclusion during the dose escalation phase. During the dose expansion phase, CCR8 positivity must be known or tumor tissue sections must be provided with confirmed CCR8 expression.)
4. Subjects must have failed or been intolerant to standard antitumor therapy, or lack a standard treatment regimen, or be deemed by the investigator as currently unsuitable for standard therapy.
5. According to the RECIST 1.1 criteria, there is at least one measurable lesion.
6. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months.
7. Subjects must be able to swallow the oral investigational drug.
8. The ECOG performance status score is 0 or 1.
9. Sufficient hematologic and organ function, with the following laboratory test values:

   1. Hematology: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1.5×10⁹/L; platelet count ≥ 75×10⁹/L; Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; lymphocytes ≥ 0.8×10⁹/L;
   2. Renal: Creatinine clearance calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault method ≥ 50 mL/min or serum creatinine ≤ 1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN);
   3. Hepatic: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3×ULN, or ≤ 5×ULN for subjects with liver metastases; total bilirubin ≤ 1.5×ULN, or ≤ 3×ULN for subjects with Gilbert syndrome or genetically equivalent conditions;
   4. Coagulation: Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN).
10. Patients must be willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatments, laboratory tests, and other study requirements.
11. Male and female participants of reproductive potential who engage in heterosexual sexual behavior must agree to use reliable contraceptive methods (hormonal, barrier, or abstinence,etc.) for at least 4 months during the trial period and after the last study drug administration (refer to Appendix 13.1 of the protocol)
