NCT ID NCT05006794

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

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a new oral drug called zamzetoclax (GS-9716) in about 145 people with advanced solid tumors. The drug is given alone or combined with standard chemotherapies. The main goals are to find the safest dose and understand side effects. This is a safety study, not yet designed to prove the drug shrinks tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

zamzetoclax (GS-9716), a drug taken orally, tested alone or with chemotherapy drugs docetaxel or sacituzumab govitecan-hziy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial focused on safety and dosing, not on effectiveness. Many drugs fail at this stage, and side effects may be significant.
