R-5780-01 In Combination With PD-1 Checkpoint Inhibitors (Checkpoint Protein on Immune Cells Called T Cells) in Patients With Solid Tumors

August 27, 2025 updated by: Rise Therapeutics LLC

A Single and Repeat Dosing and Expansion Study of the Safety, Drug Exposure and Clinical Activity of R-5780 in Combination With a PD-1 (Checkpoint Protein on Immune Cells Called T Cells) Pathway Checkpoint Inhibitor in Patients With Solid Tumors

The goal of this study is determine the safety and tolerability of orally taken probiotic (R-5780) in patients currently on a PD-1 Pathway Checkpoint Inhibitor (checkpoint protein on immune cells called T cells) with Solid Tumors.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patients will take an oral dosage of probiotic (R-5780 and provide patient reported overall feeling and physician scored measure of their tumors. Blood and fecal evaluations of inflammation and assessment of probiotic (R-5780) on fecal levels will also be measured.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Scale (QOLS)
Time Frame: Baseline through End of Study Day 112
