NCT ID NCT05789069

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called HFB200603, either alone or with the immunotherapy tislelizumab, in 83 adults with advanced solid tumors (kidney, lung, melanoma, stomach, or colon cancer). The main goal is to find a safe dose and check for side effects. Researchers will also watch for signs that the tumors shrink or stop growing.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

HFB200603 (an experimental antibody) and tislelizumab (an approved immunotherapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers like kidney, lung, or melanoma that have stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 83 participants, so the main goal is safety, not effectiveness. The drug may not shrink tumors or could cause significant side effects.
