phase 1/1b study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ciforadenant alone and in combination with atezolizumab in advanced cancers

Conditions: Renal Cell Cancer; Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

Summary: this is a phase 1/1b open-label, multicenter, dose-selection study of ciforadenant, an oral small molecule targeting the adenosine-a2a receptor on t-lymphocytes and other cells of the immune system. this trial will study the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of ciforadenant as a single agent and in combination with atezolizumab, a pd-l1 inhibitor against various solid tumors. ciforadenant blocks adenosine from binding to the a2a receptor. adenosine suppresses the anti-tumor activity of t cells and other immune cells.
