Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include patients with advanced solid tumors or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who are intolerable or non-responsive to standard treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients with solid tumors that have effective standard treatment options or those with major surgery within the last 28 days may not benefit from this study.

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 first-in-human, multicenter, open-label Phase I study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CBA-1205, an anti-DLK1 monoclonal antibody, in patients with advanced solid tumors and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The study is divided into three parts: Part 1 focuses on patients with solid tumors lacking standard treatment options, Part 2 targets patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent HCC, and Part 3 assesses the efficacy of the recommended dose in the same HCC population. The study employs a standard 3+3 dose escalation methodology to determine the appropriate dosing and monitor safety outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors and hepatocellular carcinoma who have limited or no treatment alternatives.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in the context of CBA-1205, similar studies targeting advanced solid tumors and HCC have shown promise in the past.
