Experimental cancer combo targets Hard-to-Treat tumours

NCT ID NCT05514132

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

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a combination of two drugs—ceralasertib (a targeted therapy) and durvalumab (an immunotherapy)—in 14 Chinese patients with advanced solid tumours that have not responded to prior treatments. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose. Researchers will also look for early signs of tumour shrinkage.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

ceralasertib (a targeted cancer drug) and durvalumab (an immunotherapy)

What this could lead to

If this combination proves safe and tolerable, it could lead to a new treatment option for advanced solid tumours that have stopped responding to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) and small (14 participants) study focused on safety and dosing, not effectiveness. The combination may cause significant side effects or fail to shrink tumours.
