STAR Trial Summary
This trial is testing a new drug, NG-641, to see if it is safe and tolerated by patients with metastatic or advanced epithelial tumours.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced epithelial cancers that have failed standard treatments or have no standard options left. Participants must be expected to live at least 6 months, have tumors that can be biopsied safely, and function well in daily life (ECOG status 0-1). They should not have had certain vaccines, major surgeries, or specific treatments recently and must not have active infections or severe autoimmune diseases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing NG-641, a new type of therapy designed to target cancer cells selectively. It's the first time this treatment is being used in humans. The main goal is to see how safe it is and how well patients tolerate it when given to those with metastatic or advanced epithelial tumors.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects of NG-641 are still being studied as this is its first use in humans, potential risks may include typical reactions related to immune therapies such as inflammation in organs, infusion-related symptoms, fatigue, digestive issues and increased risk of infection.
