NCT ID NCT06257264

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

Summary

This early-phase study tests a new drug called BG-68501 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug targets a protein (CDK2) that helps cancer cells grow. The trial will check safety, find the right dose, and see if the drug shrinks tumors, alone or with other drugs. About 103 adults with cancers like breast, ovarian, or lung cancer will take part.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors like breast, ovarian, and lung cancers.
