New hope for ALK lung cancer: first human trial of AQUA07 begins

NCT ID NCT07617337

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new oral drug called AQUA07, alone or with another drug (lorlatinib), in about 102 people with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see how the body handles the drug. Participants must have already tried at least one ALK-targeted therapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

AQUA07 (oral drug) and lorlatinib (oral drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with ALK-positive lung cancer who have already tried other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 102 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. It is too soon to know if the drug will work or have serious side effects.
