A Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Immunogenicity and Anti-tumour Activity of IPN01203 in Adults With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumours Exposed to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapies
This research study is investigating a new medication called IPN01203 for adults who have advanced solid tumours. These are cancers that have grown or spread from where they started. The main goals are to find the safest and most effective dose of IPN01203, understand any side effects, and see how well it helps to stop or slow down cancer growth. This study is for people who have previously received certain other cancer treatments. The study is split into two main parts. First, we'll carefully increase the dose for a small group to find the right amount. Then, we'll further test the drug at different doses to see how well it works and how the body handles it. This is an important step in developing new cancer treatments.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This research study is looking at a new medication called IPN01203. It's for adults who have advanced solid tumours. These are cancers that have grown locally or spread to other parts of the body. The aim is to find out if IPN01203 is safe, what the best dose is, and how effective it is in slowing down or stopping the cancer from growing. This is particularly for people who have already tried other types of cancer treatment, specifically those called immune checkpoint inhibitors.
The study has two main stages. The first stage involves a small group of people trying different, carefully increased doses of IPN01203. This helps the doctors understand what dose works best against the cancer while having manageable side effects. The second stage will then focus on these best doses to see how the drug truly affects the cancer and how the body processes it. This stage also continues to monitor for any side effects and how well people tolerate the treatment.
Learning more about IPN01203 is a crucial part of developing new ways to treat advanced cancers. By taking part, you could be helping to find better options for people with similar conditions in the future, even if the drug doesn't directly benefit you. The doctors and nurses in the study will look after your well-being very carefully throughout the process.
Key takeaways
- This study is for adults with advanced solid tumours.
- It tests a new drug called IPN01203 for safety, best dose, and effectiveness.
- Participation involves regular visits, check-ups, and blood/urine tests.
- You will be closely monitored by a medical team.
- You can leave the study at any time.
- Your involvement could help develop future cancer treatments.
Who may be eligible?
To join this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and have a solid tumour that has either grown locally or spread to other parts of your body, and your cancer must be measurable. You should generally be able to manage your daily activities and have recovered from most side effects of any previous cancer treatments. Certain long-lasting side effects, like mild nerve problems or hair loss, might still allow you to participate. You will also need to be able to understand and sign the consent form.
There are certain reasons why you might not be able to join. For example, if you have untreated or active brain tumours, or if you've had severe reactions to other similar cancer treatments in the past. People with certain severe heart conditions, a history of autoimmune diseases (where the body's immune system attacks itself), or certain brain-related health issues (like a stroke within the last year) would also not be eligible.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Are you 18 years old or older?
- Do you have a solid tumour that has spread or grown locally?
- Are you generally able to carry out your daily activities?
- Have you mostly recovered from side effects of previous cancer treatments?
- Do you not have an active or untreated brain tumour?
- Have you not had a stroke or severe heart condition in the last six months?
What does participation involve?
If you decide to take part, you'll first have a screening period that could last up to 28 days, which involves at least one visit to the study centre to check if the study is right for you. If you're eligible, you'll then start receiving the study drug, IPN01203. For the first two months, you'll have about 15 visits, and after that, you'll visit the centre about three times a month. These visits continue for as long as the treatment is helping you and you're not experiencing severe side effects.
During your time in the study, you'll have blood samples taken, provide urine samples, have physical check-ups, and other medical assessments. It's important to note you can continue some of your other medications, but the study team will need to know all the details. You'll stay in the study until the treatment is no longer helping, you experience side effects that are too difficult to manage, you decide to stop, or the study ends. There will also be a final check-up visit about a month after your last dose, and another safety check-up visit about three months after your last dose, or before you start any new cancer treatment.

Common questions
What kind of cancer is this study for?
This study is for adults with advanced solid tumours, which means cancers that have spread or grown locally in the body.
What is IPN01203?
IPN01203 is a new investigational drug being tested as a potential treatment for advanced solid tumours.
What does 'advanced' mean for a tumour?
An 'advanced' tumour means the cancer has either grown into nearby tissues or has spread to other parts of the body.
How long will I be in the study?
You will remain in the study for as long as the treatment is helping you and you tolerate it well, or until you choose to withdraw.
Can I stop participating in the study at any time?
Yes, you have the right to withdraw from the study at any point, and it will not affect your future medical care.
