New treatment option for Advanced Solid Tumor
Official title Phase I Study of Tolododekin Alfa (ANK-101) in Advanced Solid Tumors
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06171750
What this study is testing
What is tolododekin alfa?
tolododekin alfa is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced solid tumor.
Also referred to as ANK-101.
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, multicenter, open-label dose escalation study to determine the safety and tolerability of intratumoral (IT) injection of tolododekin alfa (ANK-101) in participants with advanced solid tumors who have progressed during or after receiving standard of care (SOC) therapy or who will not benefit from such therapy. The study will be conducted in three parts; in Part 1, participants with superficial lesions will receive ANK-101 as a single agent; in Part 2, participants with visceral lesions will receive ANK-101 as a single agent; and in Part 3, participants with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) will receive ANK-101 in combination with cemiplimab.
