What this could mean

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

Active substance

INV-1120 (an experimental oral drug) and pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy)

What this could lead to

If this early trial shows safety and hints of tumor shrinkage, it could point toward a new treatment option for advanced cancers like colorectal, breast, or lung cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 study with only 78 participants. The drug may not be safe or effective at the doses tested, and side effects are unknown. Success is far from guaranteed.
