Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called AZD7789 in people with advanced lung, stomach, or gastroesophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The drug is a bispecific antibody designed to help the immune system attack cancer cells. The trial aims to check if the drug is safe and whether it can shrink tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

AZD7789 (a bispecific antibody that targets PD-1 and TIM-3 proteins on immune cells)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or may cause unexpected side effects. Success is far from guaranteed.
