A First in Man Study of MABp1 in Patients With Advanced Cancers

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2013-08-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to block interleukin-1 alpha activity with a True Human monoclonal antibody, thus interrupting the inflammatory response that supports tumor growth/metastasis and which drives the cachexic process.

An adaptive design will be employed which will allow for the exploration of different dosing regimens, as well as tumor types that show preliminary evidence of efficacy.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
