A First in Human Study of PLT012 in Participants With Solid Tumor Cancers
What this study is about
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about what doses of PLT012 are safe to use in adults with advanced cancers in solid tumors. It will also learn about how effective different doses of PLT012 are in treating cancer.
View original scientific description
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about what doses of PLT012 are safe to use in adults with advanced cancers in solid tumors. It will also learn about how effective different doses of PLT012 are in treating cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: What adverse events and toxicities (harmful side effects) are associated with different doses of PLT012? What are the blood levels of PLT012 in your body at different timepoints? What effect does PLT012 have on reducing tumor size and/or preventing the worsening of cancer? All participants will receive PLT012 and none will receive placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug). Participants will receive PLT012 by intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks. Treatment with PLT012 can continue until the participant's disease worsens or they cannot tolerate treatment. For the first 12 weeks, visits to the clinic will be more frequent (from 1 to 5 times over a 3-week period). After the first 12 weeks, visits will be reduced to once every 3 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
