New Clinical Trials Open for Enrollment
Nautilus: OKI-179 Plus Binimetinib in Patients with NRAS-mutated Melanoma
This Phase 2 trial is assessing the efficacy of oral OKI-179 combined with binimetinib in patients with advanced (unresectable Stage III/IV) NRAS-mutated melanoma previously treated with or ineligible for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). OKI-179 is a novel, selective, and orally available largazole-derived HDAC inhibitor. This trial will also assess efficacy, safety, and tolerability of this treatment combination.
Principal Investigator: Bently Doonan, M.D.
A Study of NUC-3373 in Combination With Other Agents in Patients With Colorectal Cancer
This is a randomized, open-label, dose/schedule optimization study comparing NUC-3373/leucovorin (LV)/irinotecan plus bevacizumab (NUFIRI-bev)(NUC-3373 Q1 week versus Q2 weeks on a 28-day cycle) to 5-FU/LV/irinotecan plus bevacizumab (FOLFIRI-bev) for the treatment of patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer. The main objectives are to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of the 3 regimens. Pharmacokinetics will be assessed on the 2 NUFIRI arms.
Principal Investigator: Thomas George, M.D.
This is a Phase 2 trial of a novel fascin inhibitor (NP-G2-044) given in combination with standard of care anti-PD1 treatment, in solid tumor subjects with prior progression on anti-PD1 treatment. Subjects will received oral NP-G2-044, once daily on days 1-28 of a 28-day cycle, in addition to anti-PD1 therapy in accordance with the package insert. Primary study objective is to assess preliminary anti-tumor efficacy of NP-G2-044 when administered in combination with anti-PD1 therapy.

This an open-label, Phase 1 / 2 trial is evaluating the safety and anti-tumor activity of AB-101 monotherapy or AB-101 in combination with Rituximab in patients with RR B-Cell NHL. AB-101 is comprised of ex vivo-expanded allogeneic cord blood-derived natural killer (NK) cells cryopreserved in an infusion-ready suspension. Treatment will involve a lymphodepleting regimen with Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine, IL2, and AB 101 with or without Rituximab.
