New pill AUR107 enters first human tests for tough cancers
NCT ID NCT05865002
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 1 trial is testing an oral drug called AUR107 in 50 adults with advanced solid tumors that have come back after prior treatment. The study aims to find a safe dose and understand how the drug moves through the body. It is the first time AUR107 is being tested in humans, so the main focus is on safety and side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AUR107 (an oral drug)
- What this could lead to
- If this trial shows AUR107 is safe and well-tolerated, it could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 study with only 50 participants, so it is too soon to know if AUR107 will work. The main goal is safety, not effectiveness, and there may be side effects or no benefit.
Why investors are watching
Dr. Reddys Laboratories Limited, through its subsidiary Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited, is running a first-in-human Phase 1 trial of an oral cancer drug called AUR107 in 50 patients with advanced cancers that have returned. This is an early test of safety and dosing, and for a small-cap company, the readout will show whether the drug is tolerable enough to keep developing. A clear safety signal could validate the company's pipeline, while a poor one could set the program back.
If it works: If AUR107 shows an acceptable safety profile and signs of disease control, Aurigene could advance the drug to later-stage trials. That would give Dr. Reddys a new experimental cancer asset with clinical data behind it.
If it fails: Phase 1 trials fail often, and most experimental cancer drugs never reach the market. If AUR107 proves too toxic or shows no benefit, the company would likely abandon the program, and the money and time spent on it would be lost.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Males and females ≥ 18 years of age. 2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status of 0 or 1. 3. Acceptable bone marrow and organ function at screening as described below: 1. ANC ≥ 1500/μL (without WBC growth factor support) 2. Platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL without transfusion support 3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (Transfusion is allowed to achieve this Hb) 4. Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN; (Patients with known Gilbert's syndrome are allowed with a Total Bilirubin ≤ 2.5 x ULN) 5. AST (SGOT) ≤ 3 x ULN (≤ 5 × ULN if known liver metastases) 6. ALT (SGPT) ≤ 3 x ULN (≤ 5 × ULN if known liver metastases) 7. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 60 mL/min (either measured or estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula). 4. Ability to swallow and retain oral medications. 5. Histopathological diagnosis of a solid tumor. Note: The solid tumors must be in Stage IV at screening. 6. Evidence of measurable disease per RECIST, v1.1 for solid tumors. 7. Standard curative measures do not exist, and the patient must have exhausted all effective therapies available locally. Notes: 7a. At a minimum, solid tumor patients must have received at least two lines of systemic therapies in the metastatic incurable settings (these two lines must be in the metastatic setting and not in the earlier stage of cancer). 7b. Any cancer patient with access to any effective therapy must not be enrolled Exclusion Criteria: 1. Systemic anti-cancer therapy, such as chemotherapy, biological therapy, or immunomodulatory drug therapy, received within the past 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, from Cycle 1 Day 1 of the study. Note: Concomitant use of low-dose prednisone (up to 10 mg/day) or medroxyprogesterone is allowed.

Presence of acute or chronic toxicity resulting from prior anticancer treatment, with the exception of alopecia or nail changes, that has not resolved to Grade ≤ 1, as determined by NCI CTCAE v 5.0. 3. Definitive Radiotherapy within the last 21 days of Cycle 1 Day 1 (limited field palliative radiation is allowed and no restrictions during the screening period or during the trial) • Use of any investigational agent within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. 4. Use of drugs which are moderate / strong CYP3A4 inducers and/or drugs which are predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4 within 1week or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Cycle 1 Day 1. • Note: This class of drugs are also prohibited during DLT evaluation period and must be either avoided or used with caution beyond DLT evaluation period. 5.
