ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called Invikafusp alfa, which is a special type of antibody designed to target certain cells in the body, in combination with another medication called Sacituzumab Govitecan. The goal is to see how safe and effective this combination is for patients with advanced solid tumors, specifically focusing on those with triple-negative breast cancer and certain types of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
To participate in this trial, individuals should have measurable cancer that has either progressed or come back after previous treatments. They should be between the ages of 65 to 74 and can be of any gender. Participants will need to have their tumors confirmed with imaging tests, and they should not have any serious infections or other major health issues that could interfere with the study. While in the trial, participants will receive the study medications and be closely monitored for any effects or changes in their condition. It's important to know that the trial is currently recruiting new participants, so those who meet the criteria may have the opportunity to join this study and contribute to important research in cancer treatment.
