Study to Assess Safety and Tolerability of G17DT in Patients With Colorectal Adenocarcinoma.

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Biological: G17DT
Registration Number
NCT02181465
Lead Sponsor
Cancer Advances Inc.
Brief Summary

Pancreatic, gastric, and colorectal cancers have all been shown to overexpress the gastrin gene and to be sensitive to the trophic effects of the gastrin in animal models. The hypothesis of this study is that G17DT will elicit specific and high-affinity antibodies that will bind gastrin-17, thus preventing the trophic activity of cancer cells.
