TrialFetch AI summary: Enrolling adults with previously untreated locally advanced unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ECOG 0–1) and measurable disease. Patients receive pembrolizumab plus mFOLFOX6 (control) or pembrolizumab combined with an antibody–drug conjugate: ifinatamab deruxtecan (B7-H3/CD276–targeted ADC delivering a cleavable topoisomerase I inhibitor payload [DXd]) with or without fluoropyrimidine/leucovorin ± oxaliplatin, or sacituzumab tirumotecan (TROP2-directed ADC with a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload) plus fluoropyrimidine/leucovorin.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06780111
TrialFetch AI summary: Enrolling adults with advanced/metastatic squamous malignancies (including squamous NSCLC and head and neck SCC) that have progressed after or are not candidates for standard therapies, with measurable disease; prior PD-1/PD-L1 therapy is allowed and tumor tissue/biopsies are required for biomarker analyses in some cohorts. Patients receive oral ABBV-711 (mechanism/target not publicly disclosed) as monotherapy or in combination with budigalimab (ABBV-181), an engineered anti–PD-1 IgG1 monoclonal antibody.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07241039
TrialFetch AI summary: Enrolling adults with incurable recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (ECOG 0–1, measurable disease), including previously untreated R/M disease only if PD-L1 CPS ≥1 or patients previously treated with anti–PD-(L)1 therapy (no PD-L1 restriction), excluding prior EGFR inhibitors/cetuximab or VEGFR-targeted therapy and >2 prior systemic lines in the R/M setting. Patients receive oral zanzalintinib (investigational multi-kinase TKI targeting VEGFR2, MET, and TAM kinases) daily plus pembrolizumab (anti–PD-1) and cetuximab (anti-EGFR) IV in 42-day cycles with dose escalation/expansion to define the RP2D.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06912087
TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with centrally confirmed MTAP homozygous loss/deletion and advanced solid tumors (ECOG 0–1) who have progressed after standard therapy are enrolled in dose escalation (mesothelioma, gastroesophageal, NSCLC, urothelial), with dose-expansion limited to MTAP-deleted NSCLC after platinum chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 therapy (≤3 prior lines, prior appropriate targeted therapy if actionable). Participants receive IDE892, an MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor, as monotherapy or combined with IDE397, an oral MAT2A inhibitor, in 21-day cycles.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07277413
TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adult patients with advanced solid tumors, including NSCLC, who have progressed after anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy to evaluate MEM-288, an oncolytic adenovirus with immunostimulatory properties, alone and in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05076760
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.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04977453
TrialFetch AI summary: This trial investigates GSK4381562, a monoclonal antibody targeting PVRIG to enhance NK and T cell activation, as monotherapy and in combination with anticancer agents such as dostarlimab, belrestotug, nelistotug, and GSK5764227 in patients with advanced solid tumors who lack standard treatment options. Eligible participants have locally recurrent or metastatic solid tumors, have progressed after standard therapies, and possess an ECOG performance status of 0-1 with adequate organ function.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05277051
TrialFetch AI summary: This trial is investigating the safety and efficacy of XL092, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, alone and in combination with immuno-oncology agents (nivolumab, ipilimumab, and relatlimab) in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including specific focus on clear cell renal cell carcinoma, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to find suitable dosing levels and evaluate treatment efficacy in patients where standard options are ineffective, unavailable, or intolerable.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05176483
TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with advanced solid tumors—including specific expansion cohorts for RCC, NSCLC, and PD-L1-negative NSCLC—who have progressed after or cannot tolerate standard therapies or are treatment naïve for metastatic disease without actionable mutations. Patients receive STK-012, an engineered IL-2 partial agonist that selectively stimulates CD25+ T cells with reduced toxicity risk, as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab, and in NSCLC, with pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed and carboplatin.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05098132
TrialFetch AI summary: Adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors (including melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, or PD-L1-positive NSCLC) who have progressed after or are ineligible for standard therapies receive AU-007, a novel monoclonal antibody that redirects IL-2 activity toward effector T and NK cells by blocking IL-2Rα, as monotherapy or in combination with recombinant IL-2 and/or checkpoint inhibitors. Patients must have adequate organ function, resolved prior immunotherapy toxicity, and measurable or evaluable disease.
