Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial involves adult patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and evaluates the safety and therapeutic activity of GI-101, a bispecific fusion protein targeting CTLA-4 and the IL-2 pathway, as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab, lenvatinib, or radiotherapy.
