Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Efficacy of ONC-783 in Advanced Solid Tumors

Run by OncoC4, Inc. · NCT07408258 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This early-dose study tests whether ONC-783 is safe and tolerable and can reach tumors in adults with advanced solid cancers like colorectal, ovarian, pancreatic, or breast cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with metastatic or locally advanced colorectal, ovarian, pancreatic, or breast cancer, measurable disease, good performance status, and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients with non-measurable disease, rapidly progressing disease, or those who do not respond to this mechanism may not see a benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a first-in-human, phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study of ONC-783 as a single agent in adults with advanced/metastatic solid tumors. The trial investigates safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of a bispecific antibody that binds a tumor-associated neoantigen (CD24) and the T cell receptor CD3. Participants have measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 and adequate organ function, and the study will enroll at multiple dose levels to determine tolerability and appropriate dosing. The trial is conducted at several major cancer centers and uses strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure patient safety and data quality.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience disease control or tumor response and gain information that could lead to further development of ONC-783.

How similar studies have gone: No prior results are provided here; this is a first-in-human study of a novel bispecific antibody targeting neo-CD24 and CD3.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥ 18 yrs old.
* Male or Female
* Must have ECOG score ≤ 1. The body weight should be ≥40 kg. The life expectance should be estimated ≥ 12 weeks.
* A histological or cytological diagnosis of metastatic or locally advanced pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, or breast cancer.
* Must have measurable target lesion according to RECIST V1.1.
* Adequate organ function as determined by laboratory tests.
* Voluntary agreement to participate as evidenced by written informed consent.
* Female patient of childbearing potential: negative pregnancy test and agreement on highly effective contraceptive methods.
* Male patient: agreement on contraceptive methods.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients who have not recovered to NCI CTCAE Grade ≤ 1 from an adverse event (AE) due to cancer therapeutics except the Grade ≤ 2 chemotherapy-associated peripheral neuropathy (motor or sensory) or alopecia. Patients with ongoing and adequately controlled Grade ≤ 2 endocrine immune-related AEs are considered stable and eligible for enrollment.
* The washout period for cancer therapeutic drugs (such as chemotherapy, radiation or targeted therapy) is 21 days or 28 days for monoclonal antibody therapy. Palliative radiotherapy for painful metastases or metastases in potentially sensitive locations (e.g., epidural space) ≥ 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug is allowed. Best supportive care, such as thyroxine, insulin, steroid replacement treatment, growth factors and therapy for non-cancer conditions are allowed.
* Patients who are currently enrolled in any other clinical trial testing an investigational agent or device, or with concurrent anticancer treatment (except palliative bone-directed radiotherapy), immune therapy, or cytokine therapy or anticipated to require another antineoplastic therapy during the study.
* Patients who are on chronic systemic steroid therapy at doses higher than 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent within 7 days before first treatment.
* Patients who have active brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. Patients are eligible if brain metastases are adequately treated or not felt to require local treatment (i.e. \< 10 mm asymptomatic) and patients are asymptomatic or neurologically stable (except for residual signs or symptoms related to the central nervous system (CNS) treatment). Note: Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided that they are radiologically stable, clinically stable, and not requiring steroid treatment within 14 days before the first dose of study treatment.
* Patient with a different cancer other than the one treated under this protocol, which requires systemic treatments within 24 months prior to C1D1.
* Patient has history of Grade ≥3 allergic or hypersensitivity to SC injected medications, or severe allergic reactions to food, pollen, oral medications, or atopic dermatitis or asthmatic episodes that required hospitalization.
* QTcF (QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia formula) \>480 msec on screening ECG
* Within past 6 months with history of significant cardiovascular events including acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, heart failure NYHA class III or IV, or revascularization procedures.
* Patients who have acute infections which require systemic IV drug treatments within 7 days prior to C1D1. Oral drug or prophylaxis treatment is allowed.
* Patients who, in the opinion of the treating Investigator, have a history or current evidence of any medical or psychiatric conditions that would limit their ability to comply with all aspects of the trial or on a therapy, or with a significant laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the study, or make study participation not in the best interest of the patient. Investigators should discuss the case with the Sponsor.
* Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who intend to become pregnant or father a child during the study or within 6 months after the last dosing of study drug.
