A Study of MGC026 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

The study is designed to understand the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity of MGC026 in participants with relapsed or refractory, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors The study has a dose escalation portion and a cohort expansion portion of the study. Participants will receive MGC026 by intravenous (IV) infusion. The dose of MGC026 will be assigned at the time of enrollment. Participants may receive up to 35 treatments if there are no severe side effects and as long as the cancer does not get worse. Participants will be monitored for side effects, and progression of cancer, have blood samples collected for routing laboratory work, and blood samples collected for research purposes.

Feasibility and Effect of Resistance Training and Protein Supplementation in Patients With Advanced Gastroesophageal Cancer

Patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancer are in great risk of losing skeletal muscle mass and developing cancer cachexia. Low skeletal muscle mass has a negative impact on quality of life, impairs physical function, increases toxicity from anti-neoplastic treatment, as well as increases risk of death. Resistance training and protein supplements have the potential to stimulate muscle anabolism and counteract loss of skeletal muscle mass. Therefore, the investigators have designed a randomized controlled feasibility trial to evaluate the feasibility, safety and the therapeutic effect of resistance training and protein supplements in patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancer undergoing first line chemotherapy. A total of 54 patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancer will be recruited from the Department of Oncology, Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet and randomly allocated 2:1 to standard care plus resistance training 3 times pr. week and a daily supplement of protein or to standard care alone.
