About This Trial

This is a first in human phase 1 study of AG01 an anti-Progranulin/Glycoprotein88 (PGRN/GP88) antibody in patients with advanced solid tumors. AG01 is a recombinant monoclonal antibody expressed in a CHO production cell line. The antibody AG01 binds to human PGRN/GP88, expressed on cancer cells. This study will have a dose escalation portion (1A) to evaluate maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or maximum administered dose (MAD), the safety and tolerability of AG01treatment before the dose expansion portion (1B) of the study is initiated. The dose escalation portion of this study (1A) will also be used to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AG01 antibody to be evaluated in the cohort expansion portion (1B).

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Triple Negative Breast Cancer, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 77 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Triple Negative Breast Cancer subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Qualify: 1. Signed willing to sign a consent form/authorization is obtained prior to conducting any study-specific screening procedures. 2. 18 years of age or older. 3. Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of advanced cancer. 4. Radiographic evidence of at least 1 measurable metastatic lesion per RECIST 1.1 criteria. 5.

Adequate hepatic, renal, and bone marrow function: Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/uL platelet count at least 100,000/µL Total bilirubin WNL per Institution ULN AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X institutional ULN Creatinine ≤1.2 mg/dL Clearance ≥50ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault) 10. All study participants (male and female) with reproductive potential must practice highly effective methods of contraception (failure rate \<1% annually) while on this study and for 90 days after completion of study therapy. 11. Men and women of all ethnic groups are eligible for this trial. 12. Females at reproductive age must have a negative urine pregnancy test prior to entry to this study. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
