BOLD-100 in Combination With FOLFOX for the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumours
Recruiting now Phase 1/2 NCT04421820
Run by Bold Therapeutics, Inc. · for 18 and older · All sexes
What this study is about
BOLD-100 is an intravenously administered sterile solution containing the ruthenium-based small molecule. BOLD-100 has been shown to preferentially decrease the expression of GRP78 in tumour cells and ER stressed cells when compared to normal cells. BOLD-100 will be combined with cytotoxic FOLFOX chemotherapy in this study, with a dose escalation cohort to ensure tolerability and safety, followed by a cohort expansion phase.
