  • Have clinically significant active viral, bacterial or fungal infection requiring:
  • Intravenous treatment with antimicrobial therapy completed less than two weeks prior to first dose, or
  • Oral treatment with antimicrobial therapy completed less than one week prior to first dose. Prophylactic treatment with antibiotics (e.g. for dental extractions) is allowed.
  • Have had major surgery (requiring general anesthesia or inpatient hospitalization) within four weeks before first administration of PTX-35.
  • Have had a known tetanus/diphtheria vaccine within the past 10 years.
  • Have known additional malignancy that is active and/or progressive requiring treatment; exceptions include basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or other cancer for which the patient has been disease-free for at least two years.
  • Have known previously untreated or symptomatic metastases in the brain or spinal cord requiring steroids. Patients with treated and stable CNS metastases may be enrolled after approval of the sponsor and/or Medical Monitor.
  • Have any other ongoing significant, uncontrolled medical condition in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Have known positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C (except in cases of immunity after cured infection). Testing not required.
  • Have a history of substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that may interfere with the patient's participation in the trial or evaluation of the trial result.
  • Be a female patient who is pregnant or breast feeding.

About this study

Official title: PTX35-001 A Phase I, First-in-Human, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety of the Monoclonal Antibody PTX-35 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors Refractory to Standard of Care

A Phase I, First-in-Human, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety of the Monoclonal Antibody PTX-35 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors Refractory to Standard of Care

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single arm, first-in-human, Phase I study of intravenous administration of PTX-35 to patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to, or ineligible for, or who refuse available SOC. Five escalating dose levels of PTX-35 will be explored using a traditional 3+3 design based on dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) until optimal immunological dose (OID) or maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is established.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PTX-35 in people with Advanced Solid Tumor, run by Pelican Therapeutics, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Mar 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Subjects With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) During the Trial (time frame: Up to 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Mar 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
