New treatment option for Solid Tumor
Official title FIH Trial of VERT-002 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors With MET Alterations
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06669117
What this study is testing
What is VERT-002?
VERT-002 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for solid tumor.
Also referred to as PFL-002.
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 investigate the safety, the activity of VERT-002 (PFL-002), and the optimal safe dose to be used, in participants with solid tumors including non-small cell lung cancer.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
