Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Solid Tumors

New treatment option for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Solid Tumors

Official title A Study of ASP2998 Given by Itself and Given With Standard Therapies in People With Solid Tumors

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07287995

What this study is testing

What is ASP2998?

ASP2998 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for locally advanced or metastatic malignant solid tumors.

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
Specific proteins found in tumors help the tumors spread and grow. People with solid tumors often have a protein called TROP2 in their tumor.
  • 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.
