Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials (or clinical studies) are reseach studies involving human participants carefully designed to study whether new drugs or treatments are safe and effective.
What is the XCaliber clinical trial?
XCaliber is a clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of XMT-2056 in adult patients with advanced/recurrent solid tumors that express HER2. The trial consists of 2 parts:
- Part 1 dose escalation will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of XMT-2056 in cancer patients receiving multiple dose levels. Patients will be dosed in different groups, some receiving lower doses and some receiving higher doses. This will help identify the highest dose that is safe to use. The determined dose will be used for Part 2.
- Part 2 dose expansion will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of XMT-2056 in a larger number of cancer patients.
What is XMT-2056?
XMT-2056 is an antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC) that is designed to activate your immune system to fight cancer. XMT-2056 is administered as an intravenous infusion.
