First-in-human Phase I Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Antineoplastic Activity of OATD-02 in Patients With Selected Advanced and/or Metastatic Solid Tumours

Recruiting nowPhase 1

What this trial is trying to do

The researchers are testing whether oral OATD-02, given alone, can raise arginine levels and thereby restore or strengthen tumour responses to immunotherapy, while also possibly having direct anti-tumour activity. This is a first-in-human test in people with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumours, including colorectal cancer.

The idea is that changing arginine levels could make tumours more responsive to immunotherapy or slow them through a direct effect, but this trial is mainly asking whether OATD-02 is safe and tolerable. It will measure the type, frequency and severity of side effects rather than whether patients live longer or go longer before the cancer grows.

Worth knowing: This is a small, non-randomised Phase I trial with no comparison group, so it is designed primarily to assess safety, not to show that the treatment improves outcomes.

Written from the trial's own registry entry to explain what the researchers are testing and why. Nothing here is a result — this trial has not reported one — and it is not a view on whether the treatment works or on whether it would suit you.

What is being tested

  • Drug OATD-02

What it is measuring

Nature, frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs)

This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.

Phase 1. Tests safety and dose in a small group. Some people do benefit, but that is not what the trial is designed to find out.

How the researchers describe it

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the OATD-02 administration (orally) in monotherapy is safe and has the pharmacodynamic potential to restore and enhance tumour responses to immunotherapy through increased arginine levels or intrinsic anti-tumour activity in participants with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cancer or pancreatic cancer.

Who the trial is looking for

Inclusion Criteria

1. Capable of understanding and complying with protocol requirements.

2. Male or female patient aged ≥18 years at Screening.

3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.

4. Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced and/or metastatic colorectal cancer, renal cell cancer, or pancreatic cancer or recurrent serous ovarian cancer (platinum-resistant/ineligible to receive platinum-based chemotherapy), that either progressed or relapsed after all relevant standard of care cancer therapies (at least 1 line of systemic cancer therapy).

5. Written informed consent given by the patient before the initiation of any study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Unable to take oral medications.

2. Clinically active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.

3. Major surgery within 30 days before the first IMP dose.

4. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.

5. Known allergy to excipients of the IMP.

6. Severe, uncontrolled systemic disease which in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the patient or the patient's ability to participate in the study.

7. Participation in another clinical study within 4 weeks before the first IMP dose.

Where it is running

Running at 3 sites. Listed in: Poland.

Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.

Worth asking your oncology team

Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.

  • Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
  • Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
  • What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
  • What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?
