NCT ID NCT05620017

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

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called BAT8008 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug is designed to target a protein called Trop2 found on many cancer cells. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and see initial signs of tumor shrinkage. About 182 participants will receive the drug by infusion every two weeks.
