What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This trial tests a new drug called VBC108 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. VBC108 is designed to attach to two specific proteins (CLDN18.2 and CDH17) found on some cancer cells and deliver a toxic payload to kill them. The study has two parts: first, finding the safest dose, and then testing how well that dose works against different types of solid tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
VBC108
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial, so the drug may not be effective or could cause serious side effects. The results may not apply to all cancer types.
