New drug duo aims to shrink tough lung cancers
NCT ID NCT06892548
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study is testing two experimental drugs, BNT324 and BNT327, together in people with advanced lung cancer that has spread or come back. BNT324 targets and delivers a toxin to cancer cells, while BNT327 helps the immune system attack tumors and cuts off their blood supply. The trial will enroll about 594 participants to find the best dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors safely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BNT324 (a drug that targets cancer cells) and BNT327 (a drug that boosts the immune system and blocks blood vessel growth)
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial, so the combination may not work or could cause serious side effects. It is not yet known if it will be better than existing treatments.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged ≥18 years at the time of giving informed consent. * Histological or cytological confirmed unresectable advanced/metastatic lung cancer. Histological classification may be based on tumor samples prior to metastatic disease. Participants with mixed histology must be classified based on the main component. Participants with NSCLC are eligible with any or no PD-L1 expression. Participants with AGA-positive disease must have received targeted therapy prior to enrollment in this study. * Part 1: Participants with NSCLC and SCLC * Part 2 Cohort 1: Participants with NSCLC (subpopulation 1) AGA negative, 1L * Part 2 Cohort 2: Participants with SCLC, 2L+ * Part 2 Cohort 3: Participants with NSCLC (subpopulation 1) AGA negative, 2L+ * Part 2 Cohort 4: Participants with NSCLC (subpopulation 2) AGA negative, 1L * Part 2 Cohort 5: Participants with NSCLC (subpopulation 2) AGA negative, 2L+ * Part 2 Cohort 6: Participants with NSCLC AGA positive * Part 2 Cohort 7: Participants with SCLC, 1L * Have measurable disease defined by RECIST version 1.1. * Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. * Have a life expectancy of ≥12 weeks. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with B7-H3 targeted therapy. * Prior treatment with ADC with topoisomerase inhibitor (e.g., datopotamab deruxtecan, trastuzumab deruxtecan). Note: This exclusion applies to participants in the first-line/treatment-naïve cohorts in the advanced/metastatic setting. Prior treatment with ADC with topoisomerase inhibitor payload is only allowed for participants in the second-line plus cohorts in the advanced/metastatic setting. * Is a candidate to locoregional treatment (including surgical resection, stereotactic radiotherapy or tumor ablation) with potential to induce complete or near complete response and prolonged tumor control (sometimes described as "radical" intent), per investigator's assessment. * Has a history of significant hematologic toxicity to prior lines of therapy, as assessed by investigator, e.g., Grade 4 febrile neutropenia or recurrent/persistent Grade 3 to 4 neutropenia. NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply to all or some participants depending on the cohort.
