New hope for tough cancers? early trial launches for ABBV-711
NCT ID NCT07241039
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase study tests an experimental drug called ABBV-711, alone or with another drug (budigalimab), in adults with advanced squamous tumors (like certain lung or head and neck cancers). The main goals are to check safety and see if the tumors shrink. About 220 people will take part worldwide. Because it is a Phase 1 trial, the focus is on finding the right dose and watching for side effects, not yet on proving a cure.
