Clinical trials

This is a first-in-human (FIH), multicenter, open-label, uncontrolled, Phase 1/2a study with dose escalation in patients with advanced solid tumors (Part 1) and cohorts of up to 15 patients per selected indication (Part 2). The solid tumor types in Part 2 will be decided by the sponsor prior to the start of Part 2, but not be solely based on the efficacy results in Part 1.

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of MPB-2043, a superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) contrast agent, for enhancing MRI in detecting metastatic lymph nodes in head and neck cancer. The study compares four doses of MPB-2043 (0.5 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and 3 mg/kg) and assesses the optimal timing for post-dose imaging using T1/T2/T2\*-weighted sequences to improve the accuracy of nodal staging.
