New drug targets Hard-to-Treat cancers with PTEN mutation

NCT ID NCT04439149

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase II trial tests a drug called GSK2636771 in 24 patients whose advanced cancers have a PTEN mutation or deletion. The drug blocks a protein (PI3K-beta) that may help these cancer cells grow. Researchers want to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

GSK2636771 (a PI3K-beta inhibitor drug)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a targeted treatment option for cancers with PTEN mutations or deletions.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may not shrink tumors or could cause side effects.
