Testing ONM-501 alone and with Cemiplimab for advanced solid tumors and lymphomas

Official title: A Phase 1 Dose-Escalation and Expansion Study of Intratumorally Administered ONM-501 Alone and in Combination With Cemiplimab in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors and Lymphomas

Run by OncoNano Medicine, Inc. · NCT06022029 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new treatment called ONM-501, both alone and with another drug called cemiplimab, to see if it can help people with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas who have run out of other treatment options.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with advanced, nonresectable, or recurrent solid tumors or lymphomas that have progressed after previous therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients with early-stage tumors or those who have alternative standard treatment options 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 phase 1, multicenter trial aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose for expansion of intratumoral ONM-501, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor cemiplimab. The study consists of three parts: dose escalation for monotherapy, dose finding for combination therapy, and an expansion phase for specific tumor types. Patients will receive ONM-501 through intratumoral injections over a 21-day cycle, while cemiplimab will be administered according to standard protocols. The trial will enroll patients with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas who have no alternative standard therapy options.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas that are currently difficult to treat.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches using intratumoral therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors, indicating potential for success.
