Study Summary

This trial is testing the safety of a new immunotherapy drug for people with solid tumors. The drug will be given alone and in combination with another immunotherapy drug to see what the maximum tolerated dose is.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain advanced cancers, like colorectal or ovarian cancer, who have no standard treatment options left or those that failed. They must expect to live at least 3 more months, be relatively active and healthy enough for daily life (ECOG status of 0-1), have proper organ function, not be pregnant, agree to use contraception, and provide a recent tumor tissue sample.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests botensilimab alone and combined with balstilimab in patients with advanced solid tumors. It's an early-phase trial aiming to find the safest dose levels (MTD) and the recommended doses for future studies (RP2D). The effects on the body are closely monitored through lab tests.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in different parts of the body, infusion-related reactions which can occur during or after drug administration, fatigue, possible liver issues due to altered enzyme levels, skin rash or itching.
