Recruiting PHASE1 Salivary Gland Tumor

Tests treatment safety and results for Salivary Gland Tumor

Official title A Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Early Efficacy of AVA6000 in Solid Tumours

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04969835

What this study is testing

What is AVA6000?

AVA6000 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for salivary gland tumor.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1 open-label, multicentre dose escalation study investigating AVA6000 monotherapy administered intravenously in patients with locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumours that are likely to be FAP positive. The study consists of an initial Phase 1a dose escalation portion and a subsequent Phase 1b dose expansion portion upon completion of the dose escalation portion.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
