New STING agonist drug enters human trials for Hard-to-Treat cancers

NCT ID NCT06021626

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tests the safety of CRD3874-SI, a drug that activates the STING pathway to boost the immune system against cancer. About 81 adults with advanced solid tumors (sarcoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, and others) will receive weekly IV infusions at increasing doses. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CRD3874-SI (a STING agonist drug given by IV infusion)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors like sarcoma and Merkel cell carcinoma.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 trial focused on safety and dosing, so it is too soon to know if the drug will work. Side effects are unknown, and the drug may not shrink tumors.
