Prevention study for Advanced Malignant Solid Neoplasm
Official title Siltuximab for the Prevention of Severe Immune-Related Adverse Events During Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Rechallenge in Patients With Advanced Cancer, CIRES Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06470971
What this study is testing
What is Anti-PD-L1 Monoclonal Antibody?
Anti-PD-L1 Monoclonal Antibody is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced malignant solid neoplasm.
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 phase II trial studies how well giving siltuximab during the reintroduction (rechallenge) of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy works in preventing severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 2 years
