Spinal-Fluid injection targets Hard-to-Reach lung cancer spread

NCT ID NCT07702305

First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 1 trial tests an experimental drug, sacituzumab tirumotecan (SKB264), given directly into the spinal fluid of people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). The study enrolls adults whose cancer has stopped responding to standard targeted therapy. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink the cancer in the central nervous system.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an experimental antibody-drug conjugate called sacituzumab tirumotecan (SKB264), given as an injection into the spinal fluid
What this could lead to
If this works, it could offer a new treatment option for people with a hard-to-treat form of lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small trial (8-15 people) focused on finding the right dose and checking safety. It may not lead to a proven treatment, and there are risks like nerve damage and bone marrow suppression.
