NCT ID NCT07217171

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

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called EVOLVE104 in people with advanced bladder cancer or several types of squamous cell carcinoma (lung, esophagus, skin, and others). The study aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors. It is for patients who have already tried standard treatments or cannot take them. About 160 participants will receive the drug by IV infusion.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

EVOLVE104 (an experimental drug given by IV infusion)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced bladder and squamous cell cancers that have not responded to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 160 participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe enough for wider use. Side effects are unknown and could be serious.
