Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Advanced Solid Tumor

New treatment option for Advanced Solid Tumor

Official title Phase 1/2 Study of Intratumoral Injection of STX-001 in Advanced Solid Tumors as Monotherapy or in Combination With Pembrolizumab

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06249048

What this study is testing

What is STX-001?

STX-001 is an investigational medicine, given as an injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced solid tumor.

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
Phase 1/2, Open-label, Multi-center, First-in-human Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Anti-tumor Activity of STX-001 Delivered by Intratumoral Injection in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors as a Monotherapy or in Combination with Pembrolizumab. The study now includes a monotherapy cohort targeting visceral lesions and a separate Phase 2 monotherapy cohort for advanced melanoma.
