About This Trial

This is an open-label, two-part, phase 1-2 study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics (PD), and proof-of-concept efficacy of ST316 administered IV in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors likely to harbor abnormalities of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway. The study consists of two phases: a phase 1 dose escalation/regimen exploration phase and a phase 2 expansion phase.

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 Colon 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 130 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Colon 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 Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Able and willing to sign an willing to sign a consent form form (ICF) and comply with the protocol and the restrictions and assessments therein. 2. Male or female ≥18 years of age. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1. 4. Must have a locally advanced or metastatic inoperable tumor as follows: 1. For the dose-escalation phase: CRC, HCC, TNBC, NSCLC, OC, melanoma, CCA, and SS. 2. For the expansion phase: CRC. Note: if additional indications and combinations are added inclusion/exclusion criteria will be updated. 5. Agrees to provide a newly obtained biopsy of an accessible lesion (if they can be biopsied based on the Investigator's assessment) prior to the start of study treatment, and to repeat biopsy once during study treatment. Tissue obtained for the biopsy must not be previously irradiated, but a new or progressing lesion in the radiation field is acceptable. Subjects without accessible lesion for biopsy must be able to provide an archival tumor tissue sample for central lab analysis. 6. In the Investigator's opinion, the subject may not derive clinical benefit from, or is ineligible for, a particular form of standard therapy on medical grounds, or the subject failed or did not tolerate one or more of other anticancer therapies: a. For the dose escalation phase: i. Refractory, intolerant, or refused available standard-of-care therapies. ii. Up to three previous lines of systemic anticancer therapies for metastatic disease are allowed (adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting do not count as lines of systemic therapy). iii. Subjects with TNBC or OC with known BRCA mutations must have been previously treated with or intolerant to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatments prior to enrolling in this study (e.g., iPARP). iv. Subjects with OC must have been treated with, refused, or were ineligible for treatment with bevacizumab to enroll. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NCT05848739 clinical trial studying?

This is an open-label, two-part, phase 1-2 study designed to determine the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics (PD), and proof-of-concept efficacy of ST316 administered IV in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors likely to harbor abnormalities of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway. The study consists of two phases: a phase 1 dose escalation/regimen exploration phase and a phase 2 expansion phase. The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.

Who can participate in NCT05848739?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT05848739?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety.
