Recruiting PHASE1 Colorectal Cancer

New treatment option for Colorectal Cancer

Official title Study of Intratumoral IVX037 in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumours

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05427487

What this study is testing

What is IVX037?

IVX037 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for colorectal cancer.

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 Phase 1 open-label, non-randomized, multi-center clinical trial of intratumoral IVX037 as monotherapy and in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced micro satellite-stable (MSS) colorectal cancer, or gastric or ovarian cancer. The study is run in 2 parts.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
