ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment called CPI-0209 for patients with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas, including various types of cancer such as lymphoma and mesothelioma. CPI-0209 works by inhibiting a specific protein involved in cancer growth. The trial is currently recruiting participants who are adults facing advanced or recurring cancers that have not responded well to standard treatments or for which there are no effective options available.
To be eligible for the trial, participants need to have a confirmed diagnosis of a specific type of cancer and must meet certain health criteria, such as having a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks and good functioning of their bone marrow, kidneys, and liver. Throughout the study, participants will receive the experimental treatment and will be closely monitored for its effects and any side effects. This trial is a first step to understand how well CPI-0209 works and whether it can provide a new option for patients with challenging cancers.
