Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced solid tumor malignancies affecting the lungs who have either progressed on, cannot tolerate, or refused standard of care therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage lung cancer or those who have not yet received standard treatment 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 study evaluates KB707, a novel therapy designed to stimulate an anti-tumor immune response in adults with advanced solid tumors affecting the lungs. It involves a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter approach that assesses the safety and tolerability of KB707, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with Keytruda and chemotherapy. Participants must have progressed on or be unable to tolerate standard therapies. The study includes a dose escalation phase followed by an expansion phase to further evaluate efficacy and immunologic effects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced lung cancer who have limited treatment alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies using immune-based therapies for lung cancer have shown promise, indicating potential for success with this novel approach.
