Official title NK521 in the Treatment of Malignant Ascites Associated With Advanced Solid Tumors
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07561437
What this study is testing
What is NK521 Cell Injection?
NK521 Cell Injection is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced 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
- Study Population: Adult subjects aged 18-75 years with relapsed/refractory advanced solid tumors (including liver, gastric, colorectal, ovarian cancer, etc.) and malignant ascites confirmed by cytology, who have failed at least 2 lines of standard systemic therapy. Study Design: This is a dose-escalation, single-center, open-label, prospective Phase 1 study.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
