ANCHOR Trial Summary

This trial tests a new drug to see if it's safe and effective for treating advanced solid tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with advanced solid tumors, including skin cancer and metastatic tumors. Participants must be able to receive injections directly into their tumor.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing ANK-101, a new treatment given as an injection directly into the tumor (intratumoral). It's in Phase 1 to see how safe it is and what dose might be best.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a Phase I trial primarily focused on safety, specific side effects of ANK-101 are not yet fully known but may include pain at the injection site, swelling, and potential immune reactions.

What is the endgame of this experiment?

"Over the course of a year, this clinical trial will evaluate incidences and characteristics of DLTs (drug-induced adverse events) and TEAEs (treatment emergent adverse effects). Moreover, information related to pharmacokinetics and efficacy such as apparent volume distribution at steady state, best overall response according to RECIST v1.1 criteria, and progression free survival based on RECIST v1.1 will be collected for secondary outcomes."
