Study Summary
This trial is testing a new cancer drug to see if it is safe, how well it works, and what the best dose is.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors known to express WT1 antigen, like melanoma, ovarian cancer, or colorectal cancer. Participants must have an ECOG Performance Status of ≤ 2 and agree to follow contraceptive guidance. They should not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must have received all standard therapies unless unsuitable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests ASP7517 alone and combined with Pembrolizumab in patients with specific cancers expressing the WT1 antigen. It aims to find safe dosages and observe anti-cancer effects by comparing responses when used as a single agent versus in combination.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system such as inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions, fatigue, possible digestive issues, blood disorders that could affect clotting or immunity, and increased risk of infections.
