NCT ID NCT05787587

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called IDE161, alone or with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab, in adults with advanced solid tumors (like breast, ovarian, prostate, or lung cancer). The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and get a first look at whether it shrinks tumors. About 216 people will take part.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for certain advanced cancers, especially those with DNA repair deficiencies.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1 trial, so safety and dosing are still being figured out. Many drugs fail at this stage, and benefits may be limited or not seen at all.
