A Phase 1 interventional study of MW151 in Cognitive Dysfunction, Cognitive Disorder, sponsored by ImmunoChem Therapeutics, LLC. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-31.
Sponsored by ImmunoChem Therapeutics, LLC · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
HYPOTHESIS: MW151 intervention during whole-brain radiotherapy for intracranial metastases is safe and well tolerated and will mitigate neurocognitive decline.
RATIONALE: There is non-clinical evidence that MW151 reduces brain inflammation and improves neurocognitive outcomes in animal models of radiation therapy induced cognitive dysfunction, and in animal models of other CNS disorders.
PURPOSE: This feasibility trial evaluated whether MW151 was safe and well tolerated and whether it mitigated neurocognitive decline following whole-brain radiotherapy in adult patients with intracranial metastases from solid tumors.
In Part A, 10 subjects will receive MW151 in an open label evaluation. At least 5 of these subjects will be male. For each subject, safety and tolerability data for the first 24 hours will be reviewed prior to the continuation of dosing. Subjects will be evaluated for safety during week 1, during week 2, and at week 4. Once the data from Part A have been reviewed by the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) for males and females, an additional 30 subjects will be recruited to Part B. These subjects will also receive open-label MW-151.
In both Parts A and B subjects will take study drug (males), or the first daily dose of study drug (females) before WBRT which will be administered once a day (3Gy), five days a week (Monday to Friday) for two weeks, for total of ten treatments and 30 Gy.
3,842 studies on the registry are indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction; 1,099 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 23 is below the median of 65 across 2,807 interventional studies indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction.

A subject will be eligible for inclusion in the study only if all of the following criteria are met:
Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor malignancy within the past 5 years
a. If the original histologic proof of malignancy is > 5 years, then pathological (i.e., more recent) confirmation is required (e.g., from a systemic metastasis or brain metastasis)
Exclusion Criteria:
A subject will not be eligible for inclusion in the study if any of the following criteria are met:
Severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows:
Part A, Open-label sentinel cohort: 10 subjects will receive MW151 in an open-label safety and tolerability evaluation. Part B, open-label main cohort. 30 subjects will receive MW151 in an open-label safety and tolerability evaluation.

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]
To assess the safety and tolerability of oral administration of MW151 in adult patients with brain metastases.
Time frame: 28 days
Reduction in Cognitive Deterioration
To determine if the addition of MW151 to WBRT standard of care treatment will show a trend towards reduction in cognitive deterioration in patients with brain metastases from solid tumors, as measured by standardized NCF tests.
Time frame: 6 months
Progression-free Survival and Overall Survival
To evaluate intracranial progression-free survival and overall survival following the addition of MW151 to WBRT standard of care treatment for patients with brain metastases.
Time frame: 6 months
Anti-inflammatory Effects
To determine if the addition of MW151 to WBRT will have an impact on plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines (PIC).
Time frame: 6 months
The study was initiated on July 1, 2022, and the last follow-up visit was completed on June 11, 2025.
