UI-102 in advanced cancers (phase 1/2) first-in-human
Official title: A Phase I/II Open-Label, Dose Escalation, Dose Optimization, and Cohort Expansion Trial to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of UI-102, a Novel Cholesteryl Pullulan (CHP) Nanoparticle-formulated TLR7/8 Agonist in Patients With Selected Locally Advanced and/or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Run by United Immunity, co., Ltd. · NCT07605962 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A first-in-human study tests UI-102, given to adults with advanced solid tumors to see if it is safe and shows signs of benefit.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 years and older with histologically confirmed advanced solid tumors, measurable disease, adequate tissue, prior standard treatment, and ECOG 0–1.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active CNS metastases, significant organ toxicity from prior therapy, uncontrolled infections, or relevant autoimmune or cardiac conditions may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is an open-label, multi-center phase 1/2 trial evaluating UI-102, a TLR7/8 agonist delivered in a Cholesteryl Pullulan Nanoparticle, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study will assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity, with the phase 2 portion focusing on efficacy and dose optimization. Eligible participants have measurable disease, adequate tumor tissue, prior therapy, and good performance status, and must meet contraception and other criteria. The trial will be conducted at select sites in Texas under a non-randomized design. No collaborators are listed beyond the sponsor, United Immunity, Co., Ltd.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, UI-102 could offer a new treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors by potentially slowing cancer growth and improving symptoms.
How similar studies have gone: Similar nanoparticle-encapsulated immune-modulating agents have shown early signals of activity in solid tumors, but this exact UI-102 approach is early-stage (first-in-human).
