Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Advanced Solid Tumors

New treatment option for Advanced Solid Tumors

Official title Study of mRNA-4359 Administered Alone and in Combination With Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05533697

What this study is testing

What is mRNA-4359?

mRNA-4359 is an investigational medicine, given as an injection into a muscle, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced 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
The primary goal of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of mRNA-4359 administered alone and in combination with pembrolizumab or ipilimumab and nivolumab.
  • 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.
