Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced solid tumors, including glioblastoma and certain types of breast, prostate, and melanoma cancers. Participants must have a measurable disease that's progressed after previous treatments, be willing to use birth control if necessary, and able to provide biopsy samples. They should not have other active cancers or infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV, nor should they be on certain medications that could affect the trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing ST101 given intravenously alongside Temozolomide and Radiation in two phases: first to find the safest dose (Phase 1) and then to see how well it works at that dose (Phase 2). Researchers want to learn about its safety, how the body processes it, and its preliminary effectiveness against cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions from chemotherapy such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss which might not recover during treatment (alopecia), blood disorders. Since this is an investigational drug there may also be unknown risks or side effects.

Trial Design

7Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Newly Diagnosed GlioblastomaExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Newly diagnosed patients with a suboptimal resection or biopsy must be candidates for another surgical resection as determined by neurosurgical evaluation or multidisciplinary team based on the current standard of care that suggests that maximal safe resection is beneficial. Recurrent GBM patients must be candidates for tumor resection
Group II: Dose Expansion Recurrent GlioblastomaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Recurrent GBM patients must have completed radiation at least 3 months prior to minimize the inclusion of patients with pseudoprogression. Recurrent GBM patients must have unequivocal radiographic evidence of tumor progression by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan within 21 days prior to registration. Patients must be able to delay surgery for 2 - 4 weeks per investigator decision
Group III: Dose Expansion MelanomaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This cohort must have Melanoma that has progressed after/or on treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) and have received 1-2 prior lines of therapy for their advanced/metastatic disease. The starting dose of ST101 for Expansion will be derived from the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose for expansion (RDE) and the best dosing schedule determined during Dose Escalation.
Group IV: Dose Expansion HR+ BreastExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This cohort must have progressed after 1-2 hormone based therapies. The starting dose of ST101 for Expansion will be derived from the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose for expansion (RDE) and the best dosing schedule determined during Dose Escalation.
Group V: Dose Expansion GBMExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Primary (de novo) GBM that has recurred or progressed (per modified RANO criteria) after 1 standard treatment regimen. Standard therapy is defined as maximal surgical resection, radiotherapy, and concomitant temozolomide with radiotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide. The starting dose of ST101 for Expansion will be derived from the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose for expansion (RDE) and the best dosing schedule determined during Dose Escalation.
Group VI: Dose Expansion CRPCExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
CRPC that has progressed after previous treatment with taxanes, abiraterone and enzalutamide/apalutamide. The starting dose of ST101 for Expansion will be derived from the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose for expansion (RDE) and the best dosing schedule determined during Dose Escalation.
Group VII: Dose EscalationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This cohort only patients diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma, carcinoma or sarcoma of any tumor type who are refractory or intolerant to all available therapies. ST101 will be administered intravenously (IV), initially once per week.

Answered by AI

What are the projected outcomes of this investigation?

"This 20-month trial's primary objective is to measure Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT). Secondary objectives encompass Area Under the Curve (AUC), Duration of Response, and Cmax."

Answered by AI

Are there still vacancies available in this research venture?

"Affirmative. The clinical trial is accepting volunteers as per the data available on clinicaltrials.gov. It was originally listed in July of 2020, with updates made up until November 15th 2022; 162 individuals will be recruited from 8 different medical institutions."
