New cancer drug AOH1996 enters first human tests

NCT ID NCT05227326

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called AOH1996 in 92 adults with solid tumors (like lung, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer) that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein that cancer cells need to grow. The main goals are to find the safest dose and see what side effects occur, while also checking if tumors shrink.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

AOH1996 (a drug that blocks a protein cancer cells need to grow)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with solid tumors that haven't responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial focused on safety and dosing, so it's unknown if AOH1996 will effectively shrink tumors. Side effects are possible and being closely monitored.
