Recruiting EARLY_PHASE1 Thyroid Gland Anaplastic Carcinoma

New treatment option for Thyroid Gland Anaplastic Carcinoma

Official title [177Lu]Lu-AKIR001 First-in-human Study

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06639191

What this study is testing

What is [177Lu]Lu-AKIR001?

[177Lu]Lu-AKIR001 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for thyroid gland anaplastic carcinoma.

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 goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of [177Lu]Lu-AKIR001, both in relation to tolerable activity of lutetium-177 and the absorbed protein mass dose of AKIR-001 in patients with irresectable or metastatic CD44v6-expressing solid malignancies for whom no reasonable systemic treatment options are be available. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the toxicity profile of the study drug [177Lu]Lu-AKIR001 according to the rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities and (Severe) Adverse Events?
