Summary

This trialwill assess the safety & effectiveness of GI-101 alone or with other treatments in advanced/metastatic solid tumors.

Who is the study for?
Adults with various advanced solid tumors who have good organ and marrow function, an ECOG performance status of 0-1, and controlled HIV (if applicable). They must not have had recent cancer treatments or certain infections, active CNS metastases, a second malignancy, liver disease (except liver metastasis), autoimmune diseases requiring treatment in the last 2 years, known drug hypersensitivities, active tuberculosis or immunodeficiency.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing GI-101/GI-101A alone or combined with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy), lenvatinib (a targeted therapy), or local radiotherapy. It aims to assess safety and effectiveness across a range of advanced cancers by measuring how well these treatments work together.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in different organs, infusion-related reactions from the drugs given through veins, fatigue from treatment burden on the body's energy resources, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea due to medication effects on gastrointestinal tract.
