About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study of Macrophage Reprogramming Agent, exoASO-STAT6 (CDK-004), in Patients With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and Patients With Liver Metastases From Either Primary Gastric Cancer or Colorectal Cancer (CRC)

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1 open-label, multicenter, dose escalation, safety, pharmacodynamic, and PK study of exoASO-STAT6 (CDK-004) in patients with advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and patients with liver metastases from either primary gastric cancer or colorectal cancer (CRC).

Read the detailed description

CDK-004 as an intravenous (IV) treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and primary gastric cancer or CRC with secondary liver metastases.

CDK-004 is an investigational therapeutic candidate consisting of cell-derived exosomes loaded with a synthetic lipid-tagged oligonucleotide.

CDK-004 is designed to allow for specific delivery of the STAT6 anti-sense oligonucleotide (ASO) to the myloid to repolarize macrophage from immune suppressive M2 to proinflammatory M1 phenotype, with a potential for meaningful single agent antitumor activity which has not been observed with other pathway inhibitors to date.

CDK-004 will be administered as a single agent intravenously (IV) at various doses.

Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be assessed during the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CDK-004 in people with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and Gastric Cancer Metastatic to Liver, run by Codiak BioSciences 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 15 inclusion and 17 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 1 Jun 2023. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Company Bankruptcy). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To characterize the safety and tolerability of CDK-004. (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 1 Jun 2023.
