Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it is safe and works well with other cancer treatments. They will also study how the body processes the drug.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma, including melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), who've had standard treatments fail. They should be in good physical condition, have measurable disease, and be able to follow the study rules. People can't join if they're on high-dose steroids, have other active cancers or serious heart conditions, recently received certain therapies or live vaccines, are pregnant/nursing, or have severe allergies to study drug ingredients.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing NIZ985 alone and combined with Spartalizumab or Tislelizumab to find safe doses and schedules. It aims to understand how these drugs affect the body (pharmacokinetics) and their preliminary effects on tumor growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the infusion site, immune system-related issues affecting various organs due to increased activity of white blood cells (IL-15 stimulation), fatigue, nausea, as well as risks associated with biopsies.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the intended outcome of this investigation?

"The objective of this 24 month long experiment is to observe the safety, tolerability and potential side effects of NIZ985 when administered as a single agent or in combination with Spartalizumab. Secondary endpoints include Progression Free Survival (PFS) for expansion group patients, Disease Control Rate (DCR), and prevalence/incidence measurements of Immunogenicity related to NIZ985, spartalizumab, or tislelizumab through serum antidrug antibody testing at baseline and during treatment."

Answered by AI

Is NIZ985 a safe and efficacious option for treating patients?

"As this is an early Phase 1 trial, the data on NIZ985's safety and efficacy was insufficient for our team at Power to assign it a score higher than 1."

Answered by AI

How extensive is the enrollment for this medical research?

"Indeed, the clinicaltrials.gov page indicates that this research project is currently seeking participants; it was initially advertised on February 27th 2020 and updated most recently November 30th 2022. 110 people are required across 3 sites."

Answered by AI

What other data have been collected regarding NIZ985's usage?

"Research on the potential medical applications of NIZ985 began at UCLA School of Medicine back in 2011, with 30 experiments having been concluded thus far. Currently, there are 27 active trials occurring around the world; many taking place within Duarte, Texas."

Answered by AI

Are there any recruitment opportunities with this experiment presently?

"Affirmative. Information listed on clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this trial, which was inaugurated on February 27th 2020, is actively soliciting participants. Approximately 110 enrollees are needed from 3 distinct medical facilities."

Answered by AI

Is this a freshly-inaugurated medical experiment?

"NIZ985 has been under clinical study since 2011, when Novartis Pharmaceuticals sponsored its initial trial of 185 patients. Subsequent to the Phase 1 drug approval in 2011, 27 active experiments are being conducted for NIZ985 spanning 122 cities and 35 nations worldwide."
