FT836 With or Without Chemotherapy and/or Monoclonal Antibodies, in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors
What this study is about
This is a phase 1 study of FT836 administered in participants with advanced solid tumors. The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and how well patients handle the treatment of FT836 with or without paclitaxel and/or trastuzumab or cetuximab, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of FT836 in combination with trastuzumab or cetuximab; each objective will be assessed with or without paclitaxel chemotherapy.
View original scientific description
This is a phase 1 study of FT836 administered in participants with advanced solid tumors. The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of FT836 with or without paclitaxel and/or trastuzumab or cetuximab, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of FT836 in combination with trastuzumab or cetuximab; each objective will be assessed with or without paclitaxel chemotherapy.
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
- For all regimens, disease that is not amenable to curative therapy and that has relapsed or progressed following at least one line of prior systemic therapy.
- Evidence of adequate organ function as determined by all of the following:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>1000/µL without growth factor support within 7 days prior to start of first study intervention
- Platelet count ≥75,000/µL without transfusion support within 14 days prior to start of first study intervention
- Estimated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/minute by Cockcroft-Gault method or other standard institutional method
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); for participants with documented Gilbert syndrome, total bilirubin must be ≤3 ×ULN
- Aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤3 × ULN or alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤3 × ULN; in participants with documented liver metastases, AST or ALT ≤5 × ULN
- Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤2.5 × ULN; in participants with documented liver or bone metastases, ALP ≤5 × ULN
- Oxygen saturation \>90% on room air
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 or 1.
- Presence of measurable disease by RECIST, v1.1 assessed within 28 days prior to start of first study intervention.
- Presence of baseline safely accessible lesions of adequate size for on-treatment biopsies (exceptions for lesion size may be granted with medical monitor approval) and participant willingness to undergo protocol prescribed on-treatment biopsies.
Exclusion criteria
- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease including any of the following: uncontrolled/ unstable cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to start of first study intervention, unstable angina or congestive heart failure of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade 2 or higher, or cardiac ejection fraction \<50%.
- Receipt of any biological therapy, chemotherapy, investigational therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks or five half-lives prior to start of fifirst study intervention, whichever is shorter.
- Known active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by malignancy. Participants with prior CNS involvement from their malignancy must have completed effective treatment of their CNS disease with no symptoms of disease in the absence of steroid treatment and at least stable findings on relevant CNS imaging and no evidence of leptomeningeal disease for at least 4 weeks prior to study enrollment.
- Non-malignant CNS disease such as stroke, epilepsy, CNS vasculitis, or neurodegenerative disease or receipt of medications for these conditions within 6 months prior to study enrollment.
- Currently receiving or likely to require systemic immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., prednisone ≥5 mg daily) for any reason from start of first study intervention to Day 29 with the exception of corticosteroids as a premedication for chemotherapy side effects per institutional standard of care or as mandated by the protocol.
- Any history of Grade ≥3 immune-related AE or Grade ≥2 eye toxicity attributed to prior cancer immunotherapy, other than endocrinopathy managed with replacement therapy or asymptomatic elevation of serum amylase or lipase.
- Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy limiting instrumental activities of daily living.

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.
