ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called LUNA18, is looking at a new treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, which are types of cancer that have spread from their original site. The trial is in its early stages (Phase 1) and aims to find out how safe the treatment is, how it works in the body, and if it shows any signs of being effective. Participants will receive LUNA18 alone or alongside other cancer treatments. The study is currently recruiting patients aged 18 and older who have specific types of cancer that haven't responded to standard treatments or for which no effective treatments are available.

To be eligible for this trial, patients should have a confirmed diagnosis of an advanced or recurrent solid tumor and meet certain health criteria. For example, they should be well enough to participate (ECOG performance status of 0 or 1) and have measurable disease. However, some patients may not qualify, such as those with certain heart conditions or active central nervous system issues. If eligible, participants can expect to undergo tests and monitoring during the study to ensure their safety. Overall, this trial offers a potential new option for patients whose cancer is difficult to treat.
