Clinical trials

This is an exploratory, signal finding, randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded, multi-center Phase 2b trial of the anti GDF-15 antibody Visugromab (CTL-002) versus Placebo, combined with Immunochemotherapy (ICT: Pembrolizumab, Pemetrexed, Carboplatin) in the first-line treatment of participants with newly diagnosed metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. The trial consists of 3 Parts, a non-randomized Safety-run-in part (Part A) and the subsequent randomized Ph2b trial with 2 treatment arms. After the treatment of 15 participants with visugromab at the expansion dose, an interim safety and preliminary efficacy analysis will be conducted (Part B), followed by the treatment of the remaining participants (Part C).

This is a Phase 2b, randomized, blinded clinical trial investigating the efficacy and safety of visugromab in combination with nivolumab and Lenvatinib compared to double placebo and Lenvatinib in participants with unresectable or metastatic HCC and compensated liver function (Child-Pugh A) after failure of 1L treatment that included an anti-PD-(L)1 compound. The trial consists of 2 Parts: a non-randomized Safety-run-in part (Part 1) and the subsequent randomized part (Part 2) with 2 treatment arms (A and B). Randomization of participants into Treatment Arm A and B will continue until 40 efficacy-evaluable participants are enrolled into each Treatment Arm.

This is an exploratory, signal-finding, randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded, multi-center phase 2b trial of the anti-GDF-15 antibody Visugromab (CTL-002) at two different dose levels plus Nivolumab with Docetaxel versus Visugromab at the higher dose plus Nivolumab with placebo versus double-placebo with Docetaxel, in participants that receive second-line treatment for non-squamous NSCLC after failure of prior first-line treatment including a CPI (checkpoint inhibitor). The trial consists of 3 Parts: an open-label Safety Run-in part (Part A) followed by a subsequent randomized phase 2b part with 4 treatment arms. After the treatment of 15 participants with visugromab at the expansion dose, an interim safety and preliminary efficacy analysis will be conducted (Part B), followed by the treatment of the remaining participants (Part C).

A study of how well and safely a new drug called visugromab works in people with certain kinds of cancer (including lung and bowel cancer) and unintended weight loss known as cachexia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does visugromab help participants put weight back on and have a better appetite? * Does visugromab help participants move more and better? * What medical problems do participants have when taking visugromab? Researchers will compare visugromab to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug). Participants will visit the hospital or clinic once every 4 weeks to receive visugromab or placebo via a drip into a vein and to undergo checkups and tests.
