NCT ID NCT07462923
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests HS-20093, a drug designed to seek out and attack cancer cells by targeting a protein called B7-H3. It is for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has not responded to or stopped responding to standard treatments. The study will enroll about 40 participants to check safety, tolerability, and whether the drug can shrink tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HS-20093 (an antibody-drug conjugate that targets B7-H3 on tumor cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced gastric cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1b trial with only 40 participants, so it is too small to prove effectiveness. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
