Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Tests treatment safety and results for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Official title A Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Clinical Activity of AP203 in Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors, and Expansion to Selected Malignancies

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05473156

What this study is testing

What is AP203?

AP203 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

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 multi-regional, multi center, open label, first in human (FIH), dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study of AP203 to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activities of AP203 in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
