What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SHY-ONC6Drug

    Participants receive SHY-ONC6 administered orally once daily in 21-day cycles. SHY-ONC6 will be administered until the participant withdraws from study, experiences unacceptable toxicity or other safety event, or their disease progresses.

Study groups in NCT07705334
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SHY-ONC6ExperimentalParticipants receive SHY-ONC6 administered orally once daily. Phase 1a, sequential dose levels are evaluated under accelerated titration and BOIN dose-escalation design. In Phase 1b, participants will be evaluated in disease-specific expansion cohorts and receive SHY-ONC6 at the RP2D range identified in Phase 1a.
Receives: Drug: SHY-ONC6

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs), Adverse Events (AEs), and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Adverse events and serious adverse events graded per NCI CTCAE v6.0; supported by laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, and triplicate 12-lead ECG. Dose-limiting toxicities assessed during Cycle 1 (Days 1 through 21).

    Measured: Dose-limiting toxicities assessed from first dose through Day 21 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days). Adverse events and serious adverse events collected from first dose through 30 days after last dose.

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    MTD determined using the BOIN (Bayesian Optimal Interval) design, with a target dose-limiting toxicity rate of 0.30, based on dose-limiting toxicity incidence observed during Cycle 1.

    Measured: Determined at the end of the Cycle 1 dose-limiting toxicity evaluation period (Cycle 1 is 21 days).

  3. Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)

    Phase 1a: RP2D range determined from dose-limiting toxicity, adverse event, and serious adverse event incidence together with the MTD determination. Phase 1b: RP2D defined by integrated safety, efficacy, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic data.

    Measured: Phase 1a: at the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days). Phase 1b: through end of treatment plus a 30-day safety follow-up period.

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Maximum observed plasma concentration of study drug.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1; Day 2 (24 hours post-dose); Day 8; and pre-dose on Day 15. Pre-dose and post-dose on Day 1 of subsequent cycles (each cycle is 21 days).

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC)

    Area under the plasma concentration-versus-time curve for study drug.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1; Day 2 (24 hours post-dose); Day 8; and pre-dose on Day 15. Pre-dose and post-dose on Day 1 of subsequent cycles (each cycle is 21 days).

  3. Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    Time from dosing to observed maximum plasma concentration of study drug.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1; Day 2 (24 hours post-dose); Day 8; and pre-dose on Day 15. Pre-dose and post-dose on Day 1 of subsequent cycles (each cycle is 21 days).

  4. Terminal Elimination Half-Life (t1/2)

    Terminal elimination half-life of study drug.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1; Day 2 (24 hours post-dose); Day 8; and pre-dose on Day 15. Pre-dose and post-dose on Day 1 of subsequent cycles (each cycle is 21 days).

  5. Trough Plasma Concentration (Ctrough)

    Plasma concentration of study drug immediately prior to the next dose.

    Measured: Pre-dose on Day 15 of Cycle 1 and pre-dose on Day 1 of subsequent cycles (each cycle is 21 days).

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time from first dose until death from any cause.

    Measured: From first dose until death, withdrawal, loss to follow-up, or study termination, assessed up to an estimated 12 months after last dose of study drug.

  7. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (Phase 1b)

    Adverse events and serious adverse events graded per NCI CTCAE v6.0, collected during Phase 1b.

    Measured: From first dose through end of treatment plus a 30-day safety follow-up period.

  8. Anti-Tumor Activity - Objective Response Rate

    Objective response rate defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed best overall response of either complete response or partial response, as determined per investigator assessment by RECIST v1.1 (PCWG3 for prostate cancer with bone disease).

    Measured: Baseline through study completion, an average of 18 months.

  9. Anti-Tumor Activity - Best Overall Response (BOR)

    Best response recorded from first dose until disease progression (complete response, partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease), per RECIST v1.1 (PCWG3 for prostate cancer with bone disease).

    Measured: Baseline through study completion, an average of 18 months.

  10. Anti-Tumor Activity - Time to Response (TTR)

    Time from first dose to first documented complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1 (PCWG3 for prostate cancer with bone disease).

    Measured: From baseline until first documented response, assessed up to an estimated 18 months.

  11. Anti-Tumor Activity - Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time from first documented complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to disease progression or death from any cause, per RECIST v1.1 (PCWG3 for prostate cancer with bone disease).

    Measured: Baseline through study completion, an average of 18 months.

  12. Anti-Tumor Activity - Progression-Free Survival

    Time from first dose to first documented disease progression per RECIST v1.1 (PCWG3 for prostate cancer with bone disease) or death from any cause.

    Measured: Baseline through study completion, an average of 18 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SHY-ONC6 in people with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors and Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), run by SHY Therapeutics 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 10 inclusion and 14 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Medical Monitor (914-543-6110, shyonc6@shytherapeutics.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs), Adverse Events (AEs), and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Dose-limiting toxicities assessed from first dose through Day 21 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days). Adverse events and serious adverse events collected from first dose through 30 days after last dose.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Oct 2026.
