NCT ID NCT04840394

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase study tested a new immunotherapy drug called BDB018, given alone or with pembrolizumab, in people with advanced solid tumors that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goal was to check safety and find the right dose. Only one person took part, so the results are very limited.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

BDB018 (immunotherapy drug) and pembrolizumab

What this could lead to

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

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 1 participant, so it is too small to draw any conclusions about effectiveness. The drug may cause side effects or fail to show benefit.
