Full Title
A Phase 1b, Multicenter, Open-Label Study of the Safety and Efficacy of CHS-114 in Combination with Toripalimab with or without Other Treatments in Participants with Advanced or Metastatic Solid TumorsPurpose
Researchers are assessing different doses of CHS-114 when combined with toripalimab in people with advanced digestive cancers. The people in this study have digestive cancers that have metastasized (spread) or are inoperable (cannot be surgically removed). These cancers include:
- Stomach (gastric) cancer
- Gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer
- Esophageal cancer
CHS-114 helps the immune system fight cancer by targeting CCR8, a protein on immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs). Some tumors use Tregs that have CCR8 on them to block the immune system. CHS-114 finds and removes these CCR8-positive Tregs, allowing the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
Toripalimab works by removing the brakes on the immune system, helping it to target and destroy cancer cells. CHS-114 and toripalimab are given intravenously (by vein).
