New pill targets rare genetic cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT05745623
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called ICP-723 in people with advanced solid tumors or primary central nervous system tumors that have a specific genetic change called NTRK fusion. The drug is taken as a tablet once daily. The main goal is to see how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear. About 70 participants will be enrolled at multiple centers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ICP-723 (a tablet taken by mouth once daily in 28-day cycles)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with certain hard-to-treat cancers that have a specific genetic change (NTRK fusion).
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not shrink tumors or could cause side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1; 2. Patients with advanced solid tumors or primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors harboring NTRK gene fusions as detected by the designated central laboratory, who received no previous NTRK inhibitor treatment; 3. At least one measurable lesion as per RECIST1.1 criteria, or for primary CNS tumors, at least one measurable lesion as per RANO or INRC criteria. 4. Organ functions meet the clinical criteria Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with unstable primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors or CNS metastasis. 2. Patients with abnormal QTc interval at screening, or other clinically significant abnormalities in electrocardiographic examination at the discretion of the investigator. 3. Patient with recent anti-tumor and other treatment as stated in the protocol. 4. Grade 1 or higher toxicities attributed to any previous treatment not yet recovered. 5. Other conditions considered unsuitable for participation in this trial at the discretion of the investigator
