Study Summary

This trial is designed to find the maximum tolerated dose of QBI-139 in patients with advanced, refractory solid tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatments. They must have measurable tumor growth, be in relatively good health (ECOG <2), and have normal organ/marrow function. Participants should not be pregnant or trying to conceive and must understand the study's consent form. Prior cancer treatments are okay if enough time has passed.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests QBI-139, given through IV once a week for three weeks in cycles of 21 days, continuing unless there's disease progression or severe side effects. The goal is to find the highest dose patients can take without serious side effects by gradually increasing doses among small groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the infusion process, toxicity affecting various organs due to high drug doses, and general discomforts like fatigue or digestive issues which are common with cancer therapies.
