New targeted drug enters first human tests for Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT06597721
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase 1 trial is testing a new drug called ADCE-T02 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate designed to target a protein called tissue factor found on many cancer cells. The main goals are to find the safest dose and to see if the drug is tolerable, with early signs of tumor shrinkage also being monitored.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ADCE-T02 (an antibody-drug conjugate targeting tissue factor)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early phase 1 trial focused on safety and dosing, so it is uncertain if ADCE-T02 will effectively shrink tumors or have manageable side effects.
