Recruiting PHASE1 Melanoma (Skin)

Tests treatment safety and results for Melanoma (Skin)

Official title START: Safety and Anti-Tumor Activity of PeptiCRAd-1 in Treatment of Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05492682

What this study is testing

What is PeptiCRAd-1?

PeptiCRAd-1 is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for melanoma (skin).

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 being conducted to explore the immunological mechanism of action of Peptide-coated Conditionally Replicating Adenovirus-1 (PeptiCRAd-1) plus Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy in multiple cancer types, as well as to obtain early information on the safety of this combination therapy.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
