NCT ID NCT07160725

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a new drug called BMS-986517 in about 315 adults with advanced solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and find the right dose. Researchers will also look for signs that the drug shrinks tumors. This is a first-in-human study, so the drug's effects are not yet known.
