SB17170 for advanced and metastatic solid tumors

Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter, Phase 1 Clinical Trial to Evaluate MTD, Safety, PK/PD and Preliminary Anti-tumor Activity of SB17170 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Who Have Failed Standard of Care

Run by SPARK Biopharma · NCT05522868 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests SB17170 alone or with standard treatments in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have exhausted standard options to see if it is safe and shows anti-tumor activity.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, at least one measurable lesion, ECOG 0–1, who have progressed on or are no longer eligible for standard treatments and are expected to survive at least three months.

Probably not a fit

Patients who recently received other systemic cancer therapies within 28 days, who have previously received HMGB1-targeting drugs, or who have poor performance status or very limited life expectancy are unlikely to benefit from participation.

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, multicenter Phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-expansion trial of SB17170 given alone (part 1a) and together with standard-of-care therapies (part 1b) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have failed available treatments. The study will determine the maximum tolerated dose, safety profile, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and collect preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity. Treatment is given in 21-day cycles with tumor assessments every two cycles. Eligible patients must have measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 and an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, SB17170 could provide a new treatment option that shrinks tumors or prolongs life for patients who no longer have standard therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Targeting HMGB1 and related pathways is a relatively novel approach with encouraging preclinical data but limited clinical experience to date.
