A Study of EBC-129 in Advanced Solid Tumours
- Registration Number
- NCT05701527
- Lead Sponsor
- EDDC (Experimental Drug Development Centre), A*STAR Research Entities
- Brief Summary
This study will assess the safety and tolerability of EBC-129 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumours
- Detailed Description
This study is a prospective, open label study which is divided into 4 parts.
Part A will be dose escalation segment to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of EBC-129 monotherapy.
Part B will be dose escalation segment to identify the MTD and RP2D of EBC-129 in combination with pembrolizumab.
Part C (dose expansion cohort) will be performed in an expanded cohort of patients with advanced solid malignancies at the RP2D of EBC-129 as a monotherapy identified in the dose escalation segment, Part A.
Part D (Dose Fractionation Cohort) will be performed in patients with advanced solid malignancies with cancer indications that have shown preliminary clinical activity in Part C.
