Can a dual protein blocker shrink Hard-to-Treat tumors?

NCT ID NCT05598151

First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called HM97662 in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking two proteins, EZH1 and EZH2, which are thought to help tumors grow. The study aims to find the safest dose, understand how the drug behaves in the body, and see if it can shrink tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
HM97662, an experimental drug that blocks two proteins (EZH1 and EZH2) involved in tumor growth
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial, so the drug may not work as hoped or may cause unexpected side effects. Results are preliminary and need confirmation in larger studies.
