Testing ABL103 in patients with advanced solid tumors

A Phase 1 Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of ABL103, a Bispecific Antibody of 4-1BB and B7-H4, as a Single Agent in Subjects With Any Progressive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Phase 1 Interventional ABL Bio, Inc. · NCT06126666

This study is testing a new treatment called ABL103 to see if it can help people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other therapies.

What this trial studies

This is a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating ABL103 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that are either unresectable or have progressed after standard treatments. The study is designed as a single-arm, open-label, multicenter trial that includes a dose-escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose and a tumor-expansion phase to assess preliminary antitumor activity. Participants must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis and meet specific eligibility criteria, including performance status and recovery from previous treatments.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that are relapsed or refractory to standard therapies.

Not a fit: Patients with early-stage tumors or those who have not yet received standard treatment options may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors who have no available standard care.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies involving similar dose-escalation approaches for advanced solid tumors have shown promise, but this specific treatment is novel.
