Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new drug, ASTX660, combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab in people with advanced solid tumors, including cervical and triple-negative breast cancers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

ASTX660 (Tolinapant) and Pembrolizumab

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new combination therapy for cancers that don't respond to current treatments.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 61 participants, so safety and dosing are still being figured out. It may not work in larger groups or for all cancer types.
