NCT ID NCT05910827

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new antibody called HMBD-001 combined with two existing cancer drugs (cetuximab and docetaxel) in people with advanced squamous cell cancers of the lung, head and neck, esophagus, cervix, or skin. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and can shrink tumors or delay cancer growth. About 398 participants will take part across multiple sites.

Active substance
HMBD-001 (an antibody targeting HER3) combined with cetuximab and docetaxel
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced squamous cell cancers who have run out of standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial (phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. Side effects from the drug combination are unknown.
