NCT ID NCT06515990

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called DM005 in 136 people with advanced solid tumors, including lung, head and neck, and other cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to check the drug's safety, find the best dose, and see if it can help control the disease. Participants receive DM005 by IV infusion every three weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
DM005 (an experimental drug given by IV infusion)
What this could lead to
If this trial shows DM005 is safe and effective, it could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, first-in-human Phase 1 trial with only 136 participants. The drug may not work or could cause serious side effects like neurological toxicities. Success is far from guaranteed.
