People with recent serious health events like strokes, uncontrolled diabetes, major surgery, or certain heart conditions cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
MDK-703 is being tested both alone and alongside other cancer treatments in adults with advanced solid tumors. This study has two parts: first finding the right dose of MDK-703 (dose escalation), then seeing how well it works at that dose (dose expansion).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not specified but may include typical reactions to immune therapies such as inflammation in various organs, allergic reactions to components of MDK-703 or checkpoint inhibitors used in the study.

What is the primary purpose of this research?

"As per the clinical trial's financer, Medikine Inc., the primary variable to be monitored and measured over a 24-month period is Maximum Tolerated Dosage (MTD). Furthermore, researchers are also keeping track of secondary outcomes such as Duration of Response (DOR), Time to Response (TTR) and Disease Control Rate (DCR). All these metrics are based on imaging assessment by RECIST version 1.1."

Answered by AI

Is it possible to become a participant in this research trial?

"This medical trial is searching for 150 human subjects suffering from advanced or metastatic solid tumours who are aged between 18 and 99. To qualify, these patients must have measurable disease according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, as well as satisfactory cardiovascular, hematological, liver, and renal function. Furthermore, female participants with childbearing potential and male individuals not surgically sterile must agree to use medically-accepted contraceptive measures throughout the study period; males should also abstain from banking sperm during this time frame"
