ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is testing a new drug called AROG4-01 to see if it is safe and effective for patients with advanced solid tumors, such as mesothelioma, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The main goal is to find the right dose of the drug that helps patients who have run out of other treatment options. Participants will receive the drug through an intravenous (IV) infusion twice a week and will visit the clinic twice a week for checkups and tests. Once the best dose is determined, up to 20 patients will continue receiving that dose to see if they benefit from the treatment.
To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of an advanced solid tumor that cannot be treated with surgery or other standard therapies. They should also have measurable disease, meaning doctors can track how the tumor is responding to the treatment. Other important criteria include having a good performance status (meaning they are able to carry out daily activities) and no major health issues that could interfere with the study. This trial is currently not recruiting participants yet, so interested individuals will need to wait for further updates.
