ClinConnect Summary

The AB122 Platform Study is a research trial exploring a new treatment called AB122 for various types of advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers, among others. This study aims to determine how safe and tolerable AB122 is for patients. It is currently recruiting participants aged 18 and older who are dealing with these specific cancers and have not responded well to standard treatments or have experienced side effects from them.

To participate, individuals must be generally healthy, have a life expectancy of at least 90 days, and meet certain criteria related to their cancer diagnosis and treatment history. Participants can expect to attend regular visits for assessments and may receive the study treatment. It’s important to know that this is a phase 1 trial, meaning it is one of the first steps in testing a new treatment in people, and researchers are closely monitoring any effects of the treatment. If you or a loved one is interested, please talk to your doctor to see if this study might be a good option.
