View original scientific description
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if N17350 works to treat advanced solid tumors in adults. It will also learn about the safety of N17350 and help determine the best dose to use in future studies. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does N17350 cause tumors to shrink or stop growing in some participants with advanced solid tumors? 2. Are there any side effects for participants when taking N17350? 3. What is the safest dose of N17350 and the dose that should be used for further study? 4. Researchers will give N17350 directly into tumor lesions using a needle (intratumoral injection). This is an open-label study, meaning all participants will receive N17350 and there is no placebo. Participants will: 1. Receive injections of N17350 into tumor lesions every second week for 8 or 12 weeks 2. Visit the clinic regularly for checkups, blood tests, and monitoring for side effects 3. Have imaging scans (such as CT or MRI) to measure tumors and assess response 4.
Interventions
BIOLOGICAL
N17350
N17350 is a recombinant mutant porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) developed to target the neutrophil elastase (ELANE) pathway.
Primary outcome measures
Phase 1: Safety and tolerability of intratumoral N17350, including incidence of DLTs and adverse events
Time frame: DLTs: First 28 days; TEAEs/SAEs/laboratory abnormalities: From enrollment through 30 days after last dose assessed up to 4 months
Safety and tolerability will be assessed by the incidence and severity of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including serious adverse events (SAEs), and by laboratory abnormalities graded per CTCAE
Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) of lesions at RP2D/optimal dose(s)
Time frame: From baseline disease assessment until disease progression or initiation of a new anticancer therapy, assessed up to 15 months
ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) in superficial and/or visceral lesions, assessed in separate tumor-specific expansion cohorts at the selected optimal dose(s)/RP2D(s), per protocol-defined response criteria
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria

- Able to provide written informed consent and willing/able to comply with study procedures, visits, and follow-up.
- Advanced solid tumor malignancy (excluding lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies), with disease that has progressed on, is intolerant of, or is ineligible for standard therapies known to provide clinical benefit, or for whom no standard therapy is available.
- ECOG performance status 0-1.
- Measurable disease per IT-RECIST (Parts A1/A2) and RECIST v1.1 (Part A3), as applicable.
- At least one injectable tumor lesion, meeting superficial or visceral criteria and deemed safe/accessible for injection:
- Superficial lesions: ≥10 mm in longest diameter (or multiple lesions each ≥5 mm with aggregate longest diameter ≥10 mm), and ≤80 mm, accessible for direct injection (± ultrasound guidance).
- Visceral lesions: ≥10 mm and ≤50 mm in longest diameter, accessible for direct injection.
- Injected lesions must not involve/encase major blood vessels or otherwise pose an unacceptable bleeding/vascular risk, per investigator assessment and imaging review (as applicable).
- Expansion (Part A3): at least 1 measurable lesion and at least 1 additional injectable lesion suitable for injection.
- Adequate recovery from prior therapy: toxicities from prior anticancer treatment resolved to Grade ≤1 or baseline (except alopecia, controlled endocrine toxicities, or other stable toxicities as allowed per protocol/sponsor).
- Adequate organ function, including hepatic, renal, and coagulation parameters per protocol-defined thresholds.
- Adequate bone marrow function without transfusion support within 7 days prior to enrollment, per protocol-defined thresholds.
- Tumor tissue requirements: willingness to provide a pre-treatment tumor biopsy and on-study post-treatment biopsy, if an accessible lesion is available and safe for biopsy, and biopsy does not interfere with injection/response assessment; and/or availability of archival tumor tissue (obtained within 2 years prior to treatment), per protocol.
- Contraception requirements: participants of reproductive potential agree to use effective contraception and avoid pregnancy/fathering children from screening through 30 days after last dose; women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days prior to first dose, per protocol.
Exclusion criteria
- Serious psychiatric, medical, or other condition that would interfere with study participation or protocol procedures, in the investigator's judgment.
- History of solid organ transplant.
- Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
- Hereditary or acquired bleeding disorder/coagulation factor deficiency.
- Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 6 months, except clinically stable autoimmune conditions in remission not requiring systemic therapy (per protocol).
- Baseline QTcF \>480 ms.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Prior severe immune-mediated adverse event (imAE) from immunotherapy: ≥Grade 3 imAE within the past 16 weeks, any Grade 4 life-threatening imAE, or any neurologic/ocular AE of any grade (except controlled endocrine AEs on stable replacement therapy per protocol).
- Another active malignancy (current or within the past 2 years) other than the disease under study, except specified low-risk cancers treated with curative intent or under active surveillance (per protocol).
- Recent anticancer therapy: receipt of systemic anticancer therapy (including investigational agents) within 2 weeks prior to first dose (or 4 weeks for monoclonal antibodies/ADCs/other long half-life biologics), or within 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter.
- Recent radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to first dose.
- Unresolved toxicity from prior anticancer therapy to \>Grade 1 or not at baseline (except Grade ≤2 neuropathy and other allowed exceptions per protocol).
- Uncontrolled or unstable brain metastases (eligible only if neurologically stable for ≥4 weeks, and off steroids or on stable/decreasing steroids ≤10 mg/day prednisone equivalent; carcinomatous meningitis excluded).

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.
