ARC-20 Trial Summary

This trial studies an experimental drug for advanced solid tumors and ccRCC to evaluate safety, effects, and biomarkers.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors or clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who have tried other treatments without success. They must have had prior anti-PD-1 therapy and a TKI, no HIF-2α-targeting therapy, at least one measurable tumor lesion, and be in good physical condition with an ECOG score of ≤ 1.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and tolerability of AB521 as a solo treatment for patients with various advanced solid tumors including ccRCC. It aims to find out how well participants handle this new drug and what effects it has on their cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, common ones may include fatigue, nausea, skin reactions at the injection site, allergic reactions to the drug components, or potential worsening of underlying health conditions.
