Study on TG4001 and Avelumab for HPV16 Positive Recurrent or Metastatic Cancers

Sponsor: Transgene

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT03260023

This clinical trial is testing a combination of two drugs, TG4001 and Avelumab, to see if they can help control cancers that are positive for HPV16 and have returned or spread. The study will assess the safety and effectiveness of these drugs in different phases.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study is divided into two parts. In the first part (Phase Ib), researchers will test the safety of different doses of TG4001 combined with Avelumab in small groups of participants. In the second part (Phase II), the study will evaluate how well this combination works in treating HPV16 positive cancers that have come back or spread. Participants will be monitored for tumor response and any side effects until the cancer progresses, they experience unacceptable side effects, or they choose to leave the study.
