ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at a new treatment called STK-012 for patients with certain advanced solid tumors, which are types of cancer that form in various organs. The trial will test STK-012 both on its own and in combination with another medication called pembrolizumab. This is an early-stage study, meaning it's one of the first times this treatment is being tested in people. It is open to patients who have already tried standard treatments for their cancer but did not see improvements, could not continue with those treatments, or chose not to undergo them.
To participate, patients need to have specific types of cancer and should be willing to have a small tissue sample taken for testing. They should also be free of severe symptoms related to brain cancer if they have that type. Participants will be monitored closely throughout the trial and may receive regular visits to the clinic. This study is still recruiting patients, and it's an important step in finding new treatment options for those with difficult-to-treat cancers.
