Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that uses a TLR9 agonist to treat HCC and ICC.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with advanced liver or bile duct cancer that's not removable by surgery, who've had one standard treatment but still have growing tumors. They need good blood counts, kidney and liver function, and can't be pregnant or breastfeeding. People with severe allergies to trial drugs or certain medical conditions like active infections are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This study tests SD-101 delivered directly into the liver artery using pressure technology alone or combined with immune checkpoint blockers (Nivolumab, Ipilimumab, Pembrolizumab) given through IV. It aims to see how well these treatments work for patients with specific types of liver cancers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site, flu-like symptoms from SD-101; fatigue, skin issues, hormonal changes from Nivolumab and Pembrolizumab; and potentially more serious immune-related effects from Ipilimumab.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is there an opportunity for me to participate in this medical experiment?

"This clinical study is looking for 89 individuals in the 18-99 age range suffering from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. In order to qualify, potential participants must exhibit adequate hematological and organ function, as well as having never received prior embolic HAI therapy with permanent material; they will also need to demonstrate locally advanced metastatic or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma/intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, have previously received one line of standard therapy for liver cancer and still possess persistent or progressive measurable disease (as defined by RECIST v1.1),"

Answered by AI

Are there spots still available for prospective participants in this experiment?

"Reports on clinicaltrials.gov confirm that this medical trial is recruiting participants at the moment. It was first made public on March 2nd, 2022 and its latest update occurred 19 October of the same year."

Answered by AI

Is the age of consent for this trial set at 18 or younger?

"The protocol of this clinical trial requires that participants must be between 18 and 99 years old. For those below the legal age, there are 85 studies available while 2734 trials cater to people over 65."

Answered by AI

What aims is this trial attempting to accomplish?

"The primary aim of this trial, over a period of roughly 12 months, is to ascertain the Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD) or Optimal Dose of SD-101 in isolation and combination with pembrolizumab, nivolumab and ipilimumab. Secondary outcomes that will be evaluated include assessing efficacy through RECIST v1.1 for immune based therapeutics, determining overall survival rate using death events as an indicator, and gauging preliminary efficacy utilizing modified RECIST (mRECIST)."

Answered by AI

What is the current enrollment size of this trial?

"TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc. has the objective of recruiting 89 eligible patients for their clinical trial. This study will be conducted in multiple sites including Columbia University (Providence, Rhode island) and Rhode Island Hospital (Houston, Texas)."
