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

Summary

This early-phase trial tested a new oral drug called BBI-355, alone or with other targeted therapies, in people with advanced solid tumors that had extra DNA (oncogene amplifications). The study aimed to find the safest dose and check for side effects. It was terminated early, so full results are not available.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

BBI-355 (a CHK1 inhibitor drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for certain advanced cancers that have extra DNA in their cells.

What could go wrong

This was a very early (Phase 1/2) study that was terminated, so results are limited. The drug may not prove safe or effective, and it was tested only in people who had already tried all standard treatments.
