A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Preliminary Efficacy of KRC-01

Recruiting now · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Cervical Cancer

In brief

This is a seamless Phase 1/2 study consisting of two components. Phase 1 component is a dose-escalation, single arm, open label study in 10 patients to evaluate the safety and tolerability of KRC 01. Phase 2 component is a randomized, open label, controlled, multi-center study in 60 patients to evaluate the preliminary antitumor effect of KRC-01 in combination with CRT.
