New Antibody-Drug conjugate takes aim at Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT07169734
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new drug called ALE.P03 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a specific protein (Claudin-1) on their surface. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate designed to deliver a toxic payload directly to cancer cells. The trial has two phases: Phase 1 finds the safest dose, and Phase 2 checks if the drug shrinks tumors. About 180 participants with certain cancers (cervical, lung, colorectal, bile duct, or bladder) are being enrolled.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ALE.P03 (a Claudin-1 targeted antibody-drug conjugate)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for several advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Have histologically and cytologically metastatic confirmed advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, squamous non-small cell lung cancer, urothelial carcinoma, and cervical squamous cell carcinoma. * Have documented radiological disease progression at study entry. * Have provided tissue for CLDN1 (Claudin-1) analysis in a central laboratory. Phase I Dose Escalation: \- Received and being refractory/intolerant to available systemic standard of care (SOC) regimens (based on local institutional guidelines) for advanced disease. Phase I RDE and Phase II: * Received 1-2 available systemic SOC regimens (based on local institutional guidelines) for advanced disease and being refractory or intolerant to treatment. * Patients with actionable oncogenic drivers: received feasible targeted therapy. Applicable for Phase I Dose Escalation, Phase I RDE and Phase II: * Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, as determined by the site. * Have a performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Groups Performance Status. * Demonstrate adequate bone marrow and organ function as per the protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * SqNSCLC and CSCC: diagnosed with a tumor of predominantly non-squamous histology result or adenocarcinoma. * Has received antineoplastic therapies prior to study intervention within specified time frame. * Has rapidly progressing disease. * Has known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. * Has a history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis that required steroids or current symptomatic or clinically significant pneumonitis requiring steroids and/or immunosuppressive therapies. * Has clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding. * Has an active infection requiring systemic treatment. * Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the clinical study.
