What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new drug called CDP1, which is a biosimilar (a close copy) of the approved cancer drug cetuximab. The trial enrolls adults with advanced colorectal cancer or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that has not responded to prior treatments. Researchers compare how the body processes CDP1 versus cetuximab and check for side effects. The goal is to see if CDP1 is a safe and similar alternative to cetuximab.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
CDP1 (anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, similar to cetuximab)
What this could lead to
If CDP1 works as well as cetuximab, it could offer a more affordable treatment option for advanced colorectal and head and neck cancers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study focused on safety and drug levels, not yet on effectiveness. The drug may not prove as effective or safe as cetuximab in larger trials.

Exclusion Criteria: * Chemotherapy, biotherapy, radiation therapy, endocrine therapy, small molecule targeted therapies and other anti-tumor, etc. within 4 weeks prior to the start of study drug use or within 5 half-lives of the known drug (whichever is longer) Anti-cancer therapy, or other experimental drug treatment (except nitrosourea, mitomycin C and fluorouracil oral drugs),nitrosourea or mitomycin C for 6 weeks. Fluorouracil-based oral medications, such as tiotropium and capecitabine, have an interval of at least 2 weeks between the last oral dose and study drug use. * Have previously received anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody treatment. * EGFR antibody drug-resistant antibody (ADA) positive. * Within 3 months prior to enrollment, major organ surgery (excluding biopsy) or significant trauma occurred. * The adverse reactions of previous anti-tumor therapy have not been restored to CTCAE 4.03 grade ≤1 (excluding hair loss). * Untreated or clinically symptomatic brain metastases, spinal cord compression, cancerous meningitis, or other evidence that the patient's brain, spinal metastases have not yet been controlled, the researchers judged not suitable for inclusion. clinical symptoms suspected brain or soft Membrane disease is to be ruled out by CT / MRI examination. * Uncontrolled active infections. * Have a history of immunodeficiency, including HIV antibody test positive. * Treponema anti-positive. * Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. * Serious history of cardiovascular disease: including ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention; acute coronary syndromes, congestive heart failure, stroke or other cardiovascular events of grade III and higher within 6 months; New York, USA Heart Association (NYHA.
