RECRUITINGPhase 1INTERVENTIONAL

A Study Evaluating the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of EVOLVE104 in Participants With Advanced Urothelial and Squamous Cell Carcinomas

A Phase 1 Dose-Escalation and Expansion Study Evaluating the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of EVOLVE104 in Subjects With Advanced Urothelial and Squamous Cell Carcinomas

A Study Evaluating the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of EVOLVE104 in Participants With Advanced Urothelial and Squamous Cell Carcinomas (NCT07217171) is a Phase 1 interventional studying Bladder Cancer and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung, sponsored by EvolveImmune United, INC. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EVOLVE104 in participants with advanced urothelial and squamous cell carcinomas who have previously taken standard treatment options, have declined or have been ineligible for treatment with these medications. Participants with advanced or metastatic cancer who meet all eligibility criteria may be eligible to participate in the study.

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 Bladder 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 160 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Bladder 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)

Key Who May Qualify: Participants must have locally advanced or metastatic cancer with one of the following tumor types: bladder cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, esophagus, skin, or an anogenital squamous cell carcinoma. 1. Participant must have documented disease progression during or post treatment with standard of care, dependent upon tumor type. 2. The cancer must be measurable by CT scan or MRI. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score ≤1. 4. Anticipated expected to live at least 3 months. 5. your organs (liver, kidneys, etc.) are working well enough based on blood tests, as indicated by standard blood tests. 6. Able to provide a fresh or archival tumor biopsy. 7. Male and female participants must agree to use contraception during the study and for 120 days after the last dose of study drug, except for women who are post-menopausal or surgically sterile. Key Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. The participant is a candidate for treatment with a targeted agent known to provide a benefit. 2. Persistent significant toxicities from prior anticancer therapy. 3. Brain metastases unless previously treated and stable. 4. Prior severe or life-threatening immunologic reactions to previous therapies. 5. Significant medical conditions, including but not limited to: - History of clinically significant cardiac disease - Severe esophageal disease such as esophageal rupture or severe erosive esophagitis. - Active inflammatory corneal or conjunctival inflammation, erosion, or ulcerations. - History of cirrhosis or significant portal hypertension. - Uncontrolled or significant infection. - History of certain other cancers in the past 3 years. - History of arterial thrombosis, stroke and transient ischemic attack within 6 months. - Active or uncontrolled HIV, HBV or HCV infection. - Autoimmune or other condition requiring chronic systemic immunosuppression. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT07217171), the sponsor (EvolveImmune United, INC), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions? See our 25 questions to ask about clinical trials guide for a more complete checklist.
