A Study of Tolododekin Alfa (ANK-101) in Combination With an Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Antibody in Participants With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Recruiting now · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

In brief

A study of tolododekin alfa (also known as ANK-101) administered in combination with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody in participants with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cohort A will enroll participants who have progressed on prior standard of care treatment with an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody and a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen. Cohort B will enroll participants who are treatment-naïve for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
