NCT ID NCT06035744

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

Summary

This early-stage study tested a new drug called CLN-617, alone or with the immunotherapy Keytruda, in 23 adults with advanced solid tumors that had not responded to standard treatments. The goal was to check safety and find the right dose. However, the trial was terminated, so full results are not available.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CLN-617 (a fusion protein combining IL-2, LAIR2, HSA, and IL-12) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new combination treatment for advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial, now terminated, so results are limited. The approach is still experimental and may not prove safe or effective in larger studies.
