About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label Study of CTX-471 in Patients With NCAM Positive Tumors

This study will enroll patients with central lab confirmed NCAM (CD56 IHC) positive metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasms that have progressed after standard of care treatment. CTX-471 to be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion at either 0.3 mg/kg or 0.6 mg/kg every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The study will be conducted in two stages. In Stage 1, 18 patients will be accrued for each dose level. If there are less than 2 objective responses in these 18 patients at either dose level, the dose level will be stopped. Otherwise, an additional 22 patients will be accrued in Stage 2 with 11 patients for each dose level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CTX-471 in people with Neuroendocrine Neoplasm and Neuroendocrine Carcinomas, run by Compass Therapeutics.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Compass Study Email (617-500-8099, CTX-471-002@compasstherapeutics.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the clinical activity of CTX-471 (time frame: Baseline until confirmed disease progression (up to 1 year)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jul 2026.
