Study summary

The overall goal of this first-in-human (FIH) clinical trial is to learn about the safety and dosing of COM503 when given alone or in combination with zimberelimab in participants with advanced solid tumors.

The primary objectives of this study are:

  • To assess the safety and tolerability of COM503 as monotherapy and COM503 in combination with zimberelimab in participants with advanced solid tumors.
  • To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / maximum administered dose (MAD) and/or the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of COM503 as monotherapy and in combination with zimberelimab in participants with advanced solid tumors.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants with histologically/ confirmed advanced recurrent or solid tumor
  • Part 1 (dose escalation): Participants must have had disease progression on or following all available standard of care (SOC) therapies known to confer clinical benefit.
  • Part 2 (dose expansion): Participants may be enrolled following disease progression that has progressed after at least 1 available standard therapy; or for whom standard therapy has proven to be ineffective or intolerable or is considered inappropriate; or for whom a clinical trial of an agent is a recognized SOC.
  • Participants must have a solid tumor measurable by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as per version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) criteria by investigator assessment

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of another within 2 years prior to the first trial intervention administration (unless the malignancy was treated with curative intent with low risk of recurrence [e.g., nonmelanoma skin cancer, confirmed complete excision of carcinoma in situ, or similar] which are allowed to enroll).
  • Therapy with doses of systemic medications, such as (doses >10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent daily) within 2 weeks before trial intervention administration
  • Have known active central nervous system (CNS) and/or (LMD).
  • Active and bacterial, fungal, or viral infection that is not controlled or requires systemic antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals, respectively.
  • Ascites or pleural effusion that is symptomatic and/or requiring drainage within 2 weeks prior to the first trial intervention administration.
  • Have active virus (HBV) or virus (HCV), or participants with (HIV).
  • Any medical condition that, in the investigator's or sponsor's opinion, poses an undue risk to the participant's participation in the trial.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

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.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

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.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

RECIST

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.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

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.

Leptomeningeal disease

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2027, 34 months after the start.

Of 677 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 38 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 61. This study's planned 34 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 904 studies reached it within 40 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 64.

Neoplasms covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 12, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
