First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an investigational drug called CX-801, alone or with the immunotherapy Keytruda, in 121 adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to check safety and find the right dose. Researchers will also look for signs that the tumors shrink.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CX-801 (an investigational drug) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 121 people, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not shrink tumors or may cause side effects.
