New radioactive 'Smart Bomb' targets Hard-to-Treat lung cancer

NCT ID NCT07278479

First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tests a new drug that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells carrying a protein called DLL3, found in small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors. The trial enrolls 138 adults whose cancer has progressed after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to check safety, find the right 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

A radioactive drug that targets DLL3 on cancer cells

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced small cell lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (phase 1/2a) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe enough for wider use. Radiation-based drugs can cause side effects like damage to healthy tissues.

Conditions

The condition(s) this trial relates to.

neuroendocrine carcinoma small cell lung carcinoma
