Summary

This early-phase study tests two experimental drugs, BI 765049 and ezabenlimab, in adults with advanced solid tumors like colorectal, lung, and pancreatic cancer. The main goal is to find the highest safe dose of BI 765049 alone and in combination with ezabenlimab. Participants receive the drugs by infusion every three weeks for up to three years if they benefit.

Active substance
BI 765049 and ezabenlimab
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 67 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. It may not show strong anti-tumor effects, and side effects are unknown.
