ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called LTC004 for patients with advanced sarcoma, a type of cancer that cannot be surgically removed or has spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to find out if LTC004 is safe, how well it works, and whether it can help shrink tumors or stabilize the disease in people who have not had success with standard treatments. The trial will start by enrolling 10 participants to see if at least 2 of them have a positive response to the treatment lasting more than 12 weeks, which would then allow the study to expand to include 20 more participants.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be between 18 and 75 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of sarcoma that hasn't responded to standard therapies or for which there are no effective treatment options available. They should also have at least one measurable tumor and be in reasonably good health. Participants can expect to receive the study drug, regular check-ups, and monitoring throughout the trial. It’s important to know that certain health conditions or recent treatments may exclude individuals from participating, so a thorough screening will take place to ensure safety.
