ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05497453

This clinical trial is testing a new drug, OTX-2002, to see if it is safe and effective for treating liver cancer and other tumors associated with the MYC gene. The study will look at OTX-2002 alone and in combination with standard treatments.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study is divided into two parts. Part 1 tests OTX-2002 by itself, while Part 2 tests it with standard treatments for liver cancer. The main goals are to check the safety and effectiveness of OTX-2002 in shrinking tumors. Part 1 will focus on finding the right dose and observing any side effects, while Part 2 will see how well the drug works with other treatments.

Description

This study is exploring a new drug called OTX-2002 for treating liver cancer and other tumors linked to the MYC gene. It is divided into two parts:

  • Part 1: This part tests OTX-2002 alone. It starts with a phase where the dose is gradually increased to find the safest and most effective amount. Patients with liver cancer or other tumors that have not responded to standard treatments will receive OTX-2002 through an IV. The main focus is to see how safe the drug is and to find the best dose. After finding the right dose, more patients will be treated to see how well the drug works in shrinking tumors.

  • Part 2: This part tests OTX-2002 in combination with standard treatments for liver cancer. Initially, a small group of patients will receive the combination to ensure it is safe. If it is, more patients will be treated to see how effective the combination is in reducing tumors. The study will look at how long the tumors respond to the treatment and any side effects that occur.

The study aims to provide new insights into treating liver cancer and other MYC-related tumors, potentially offering new options for patients who have limited treatment choices.
