Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Colorectal Cancer

Tests treatment safety and results for Colorectal Cancer

Official title Dose Finding, Efficacy and Immunological Response of IP-001 Following MWA or IRE for CRLM

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06630624

What this study is testing

What is IP-001?

IP-001 is an investigational medicine, given as an injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for colorectal cancer.

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 objectives of this phase I/II, prospective clinical trial, are to assess the optimal dose, efficacy, safety and immunological effect of ablation and intra-tumoral injection of a novel immuno-adjuvant (IP-001) for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). The study consists of three parts, devided into two phases.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
