Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Neoplasms

New treatment option for Neoplasms

Official title EMB-01 in Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Gastrointestinal Cancers

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05176665

What this study is testing

What is EMB-01?

EMB-01 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for neoplasms.

Also referred to as FIT-013a.

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 study is to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of EMB-01 in advanced/metastatic gastrointestinal cancers, including gastric cancer, hepatocellular cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal cancer.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
