Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of HM16390 Alone or With Pembrolizumab in Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
What this study is about
This is a First-in-Human, Phase 1, gradually increasing doses and Dose-Expansion study of HM16390, as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab to assess safety, tolerability, MTD, RP2D, PK, and effectiveness in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. gradually increasing doses Part is planned to establish the MTD or RDs for the randomly assigned Dose-Ranging Part.
View original scientific description
This is a First-in-Human, Phase 1, Dose-Escalation and Dose-Expansion study of HM16390, as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab to assess safety, tolerability, MTD, RP2D, PK, and efficacy in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Dose-Escalation Part is planned to establish the MTD or RDs for the randomized Dose-Ranging Part. Based on the results of the Dose-Escalation Part, additional eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1 into each dose level. After a comprehensive review of available data from both Dose-Escalation Part and Dose-Ranging Part, the RDEs to be tested in the Dose-Expansion Part are determined. Dose-Expansion Part is designed to assess the potential efficacy of HM16390 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab when administered at the RDEs to subjects in indication-specific expansion cohorts.

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.
