NCT ID NCT04905914

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing an oral drug called ATRN-119 in 132 people with advanced solid tumors that have specific DNA repair mutations. The main goals are to check safety, how the drug moves through the body, and whether it can shrink tumors. Participants must be able to take pills by mouth and have a life expectancy of at least 3 months.

Active substance

ATRN-119 (oral capsule)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific DNA repair mutations.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2a) with only 132 participants, so it is too small to prove effectiveness. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
