First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing an anti-PD-1 antibody (a type of immunotherapy) alone or combined with low-dose decitabine and/or standard chemotherapy in people whose cancers have come back or not responded to treatment. The trial includes patients with several cancer types, such as lymphoma, lung, breast, and liver cancers. The goal is to see if these combinations are safe and effective at shrinking tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Anti-PD-1 antibody (a drug that helps the immune system attack cancer) and low-dose decitabine (a chemotherapy-like drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for patients with several types of cancer that have not responded to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects from the combination therapy are possible and are being closely monitored.
