Study Summary

This trial will test a drug (CTX-471) alone or with pembrolizumab to treat cancer that has not responded to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor drugs. Two parts of the trial will assess different doses.

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain advanced cancers (like lung, melanoma, or head and neck) that worsened after PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatment can join. They must have good organ function, no recent immunosuppressants or vaccines, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and agree to use birth control. Excluded are those with severe heart issues, active infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV unless controlled, other recent cancer treatments or live vaccines.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing CTX-471 alone or with pembrolizumab in patients whose cancer progressed on PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. It's a Phase 1 study with two parts: first finding the right dose (escalation), then expanding to more patients at that dose (expansion).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system since both drugs work by boosting it. This could lead to inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions similar to allergic responses during drug administration, fatigue from the body's increased activity fighting cancer cells.
