New drug trial aims to rev up immune system to fight advanced cancers

NCT ID NCT02936102

Summary

This was a first-in-human study to test the safety and find the right dose of a new immunotherapy drug called FAZ053. It was given alone and in combination with another drug, PDR001, to 154 adults with advanced solid tumors that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goal was to see how safe the drug was and how the body processed it, while also checking for any early signs that it could help shrink tumors.
