A Camelid Nanobody B7-H3 Tri-Specific Killer Engager (GTB-5550) for the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors that Failed Prior Therapy

Trial Status: active

This phase Ia/Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of GTB-5550 and how well it works in treating patients with solid tumor that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body and that has failed prior therapy. GTB-5550 is a tri-specific killer engager (TriKE) that binds to CD16, an activating receptor found on natural killer (NK) cells (a type of immune blood cell that are known to attack tumor cells). It contains a natural immune chemical, interleukin-15, that activates NK cells to kill tumor cells. GTB-5550 also binds to B7-H3, a protein found on tumor cells. This protein has the ability to turn off the body's normal defenses allowing tumor cells to grow. GTB-5550 targets cells that express B7-H3 and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving GTB-5550 may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors that have failed prior therapy.
