New antibody combo takes on tough colorectal cancer

NCT ID NCT07649655

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called EMB-01, a bispecific antibody that targets two cancer-related proteins, combined with standard chemotherapy. About 120 adults with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed will receive the combination. The main goals are to find a safe dose and check for early signs of tumor shrinkage.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

EMB-01 (a bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and cMET) combined with chemotherapy (irinotecan, TAS-102, mFOLFOX6, or FOLFIRI)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 120 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The combination may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
