PM534 treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors

Phase I, Open-label, Dose-escalating, Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Study of PM534 Administered Intravenously to Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This study is testing a new treatment called PM534 to see if it is safe for people with advanced solid tumors when given through an IV.

Quick facts

• Phase: Phase 1
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 30 (estimated)
• Ages: 18 Years and up
• Sex: All
• Sponsor: PharmaMar (Industry-sponsored)
• Drugs / interventions: chemotherapy
• Locations: 3 sites (Barcelona and 2 other locations)
• Trial ID: NCT05835609 on ClinicalTrials.gov

What this trial studies

This phase I clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PM534 administered intravenously to patients with advanced solid tumors. The study will involve a dose-escalation approach, where cohorts of patients will receive increasing doses of PM534 to identify dose-limiting toxicities and determine the maximum tolerated dose. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of advanced solid tumors and meet specific health criteria to ensure their safety during the trial.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients with advanced solid tumors who have undergone no more than three prior lines of chemotherapy.

Not a fit: Patients with significant comorbidities or those who have received more than three lines of chemotherapy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies involving dose-escalation of novel therapies for advanced solid tumors have shown promise, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
