Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment called AFM24. It is a tetravalent bispecific antibody construct that targets EGFR-expressing solid tumors. The trial is open-label, non-randomized, and multi-center. It is testing multiple ascending doses of AFM24 to see if it is effective in treating advanced solid malignancies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that express EGFR and have progressed after previous cancer treatments. They must have adequate organ function, no active secondary cancers (with some exceptions), and not be on recent anticancer therapies or another clinical study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
AFM24, a new antibody construct targeting EGFR-expressing tumors using the body's natural killer cells and macrophages, is being tested in patients who've had at least one line of prior cancer therapy. The study includes dose escalation/expansion phases to evaluate safety and effectiveness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As AFM24 is first in human testing, specific side effects are unknown but may include typical reactions related to immune system engagement such as fever, fatigue, allergic reactions, or potential tissue damage at tumor sites.
