Clinical Trials for Rectal Cancer

A Phase 2, Open-label, Multicenter Study of IBI363 (PD1-IL2m) in Subjects with Advanced Solid Malignancies

Investigational drug late phase

The trial is testing an investigational drug and is at least phase 2, suggesting that the drug has shown promise in phase 1 studies and might have a high chance of working well compared to other investigational drugs.

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: This trial involves adult patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited treatment options, evaluating the efficacy and safety of IBI363, a PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific antibody fusion protein targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and activating the IL-2 pathway to enhance tumor-specific T cell activity.
