NCT ID NCT06091930

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

Summary

This early-stage study tested a new drug called BI 765049, alone or combined with another drug (ezabenlimab), in 21 Asian adults with advanced solid tumors (stomach, colorectal, pancreatic, liver, head and neck, or lung cancer) that have a specific marker called B7-H6. The main goals were to find a safe dose and see if the drugs could shrink tumors. Participants received infusions every three weeks for up to three years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

BI 765049 and ezabenlimab

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced cancers that have the B7-H6 marker.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 21 participants, so it is too small to prove effectiveness. The drugs may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
