A Phase 1/2 interventional study of LCB84 and Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in Advanced Solid Tumors, sponsored by LigaChem Biosciences, Inc.. Recruiting at 8 sites in 2 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-24.
Sponsored by LigaChem Biosciences, Inc. · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2 study to evaluate LCB84, a TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate, alone and in combination with an anti-PD-1 Ab, in dose escalation (Phase 1) followed by dose expansion (Phase 2).
The study population in dose escalation (Phase 1) consists of patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard of care, or for whom no standard of care exists. After the MTD and/or RP2D for single agent LCB84 is determined, dose escalation cohorts with select tumor types will be enrolled. Combination LCB84 and anti-PD-1 Ab will be evaluated in dose escalation after a minimum of 2 dose levels of single agent LCB84 have established DLT safety, to determine the MTD and/or RP2D of combination LCB84 and anti-PD-1 Ab, and to continue into dose expansion cohorts in select tumor types.
14,825 studies on the registry are indexed under Breast Neoplasms; 3,319 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 300 is above the median of 72 across 10,896 interventional studies indexed under Breast Neoplasms.

Key Exclusion Criteria:
Note: Patients with stable or treated may be eligible if all of the following criteria are met: 1) localized treatment for brain metastases completed at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug 2) no new or progressive neurologic symptoms and without need for immediate local therapy, or anticonvulsants for symptom control (stable or decreasing steroid dose (a stable dose of ≤4 mg dexamethasone oral or equivalent) is permitted) 3) stable brain metastases for at least 1 month prior to screening (baseline) brain MRI.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.
It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
Cancer that has spread to the leptomeninges, the thin layers covering the brain and spinal cord, and the fluid between them. It is not the same as brain metastases.
Criteria often treat it separately, and many studies leave it out even where treated brain metastases are allowed.
Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).
Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
