A Phase I, First in Human Study of CBA-1205, Anti-DLK1 Monoclonal Antibody in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors, Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), Melanoma, and Pediatric Cancer

June 15, 2026 updated by: Chiome Bioscience Inc.

A Phase I, First in Human Study of CBA-1205, Anti-DLK1 Monoclonal Antibody in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors.

In this first-in-human, muticenter, non-randomized, open-label, standard 3+3 dose escalation Phase I study encompasses 5 parts (Part 1-5). The purpose of this FIH study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of CBA-1205.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

To evaluate safety and efficacy of CBA-1205 in the following five parts in a stepwise manner:

Part 1

  • In Part 1, safety and tolerability in patients with Solid Tumor where no standard treatment is available, or who are intolerable or non-responder to the standard treatment will be evaluated. Initial dose for Part 2 will be determined.

Part 2

  • In Part 2, safety and tolerability in patients with advanced and/or recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma which are unresectable, or who are intolerable or non-responder to the standard treatment will be evaluated. Recommended dose in this population will be determined.

Part 3

  • In Part 3, safety and efficacy at the recommended dose in patients with advanced and/or recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma which are unresectable, or who are intolerable or non-responder to the standard treatment will be evaluated.

Part 4

  • In Part 4, safety and efficacy in patients with Malignant Melanoma who are refractory or intolerant to standard therapy.

Part 5

  • In Part 5, safety, tolerability and the recommended dose of the study drug in patients with Pediatric Cancer where no standard treatment is available, or who are intolerable or non-responder to the standard treatment will be evaluated.
