Study Sponsor: Glyconex, Inc.
Location: Regions Cancer Care Center
Phase of Study: Phase 1
Purpose of study: The purposes of this study are to determine the right dose of GNX102 that can be tolerated by people with cancer, and, to see if it can shrink the tumors. GNX102, is an antibody that binds to a certain target on the surface of the cancer cells. This target has been shown to be present on the surface of many different types of tumors. When this study medication binds to this target it is thought that it may kill the cancer cells.
Eligible patients will be those that have cancer that has continued to grow despite having tried many different treatments.
Inclusion Criteria:
– Must be at least 18 years of age.
– Must have histologially confimred solid tumor with a likelihood of expression of GNX102 targeted antigens (for example: colorectal, hepatocellular, non-small cell lung, gastric, breast, bladder, pancreatic, melanoma, esophageal, prostate, ovarian, cervical, and epithelial uterine cancers).
– Advanced, unresectable (local, regionally, recurrent not amenable to curative therapy) or metastatic disease that has no standard therapeutic option with a proven clinical benefit.
– ECOG performance status of 0-1
– Acceptable liver, renal, and hematologic function (as determined by blood tests).
– Acceptable coagulation status.
– Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
– Other criteria may apply.
Exclusion Criteria:
– Has any other malignancy.
– Has a positive PCR test for active COVID-19 infection or has signs or symptoms consistent with COVID-19 in the absence of a negative PCR test.
– Has New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart disease.
– History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, within the past 6 months.
– History of cerebral vascular accident or transient ischemic attack within the past 6 months.
– History of primary CNS tumor.
– History of CNS metastases, unless previously treated and stable for at least 4 weeks in the absence of steroids. Patients with meningeal carcinomatosis are excluded regardless of treatment.
– Active, nonmalignant gastrointestinal (GI) disease requiring treatment (such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, colitis) that would impart excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration
– Other criteria may apply.
