Smart drug targets two cancer weaknesses at once

NCT ID NCT07686445

First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This trial tests a new drug called AN4035 in people with advanced solid tumors that have RAS mutations and high levels of the CEACAM5 protein. The drug is designed to seek out cancer cells carrying CEACAM5 and deliver a payload that blocks RAS, a key driver of cancer growth. The study aims to find safe doses and see if the drug can slow or shrink tumors, either alone or combined with another cancer drug (cetuximab).

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AN4035 (a drug that targets CEACAM5 on cancer cells and delivers a RAS inhibitor payload)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat cancers that have RAS mutations and high CEACAM5 levels.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial, so the drug may not be safe or effective. Side effects could be significant, and the approach may not work for all tumor types.
