ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is researching a new treatment called MHB088C for patients with advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine cancer, which is a type of cancer that affects cells similar to nerve cells and hormones but is not located in the lungs. The study will include patients who have already tried standard treatments based on platinum but did not respond well or cannot receive them for various reasons. Participants will receive the treatment through an intravenous infusion every two weeks and will be monitored for their response to the medication and any potential side effects.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be between 18 and 80 years old, have a specific type of cancer that cannot be surgically removed, and have a life expectancy of at least three months. They must also be able to comply with study requirements and provide informed consent. Throughout the study, participants will have regular check-ups to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and any side effects. After the treatment ends, they will continue to be followed for safety and overall health for several months.
