NCT ID NCT06759649
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called COM503, alone or with another drug zimberelimab, in 200 people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose. It is a first-in-human study, so effectiveness is not yet known.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- COM503 (a drug given by IV) and zimberelimab (another drug given by IV)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial, so the main goal is safety, not effectiveness. It may not work, and side effects are unknown. Only 200 people are enrolled, so results may not apply to everyone.
