Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment to see if it is safe and effective. People with advanced cancer who have not had success with other treatments are eligible to participate. The treatment consists of a new medication, BI 765179, given alone or with another medication, ezabenlimab. The study will last up to three years, and participants will be closely monitored for any side effects.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced solid tumors that didn't respond to standard treatments or for whom such treatments aren't suitable can join. This includes those with certain types of cancers like lung, gastric, and breast cancer, among others. Participants must be over 18, have at least one measurable tumor outside the brain, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1), and have proper organ function. Women who can bear children and men who can father a child must use effective birth control.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the highest tolerable dose of BI 765179 alone or combined with ezabenlimab in patients with advanced cancer. Both drugs are antibodies designed to help the immune system fight cancer; this is the first time BI 765179 is being used on people. Treatments are given via infusion every three weeks for up to three years if beneficial and tolerable.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, participants will be monitored regularly for any health problems related to treatment which could include typical antibody-related reactions like immune system complications, infusion reactions, fatigue or allergic responses.
