New drug targets AKT mutations in Hard-to-Treat cancers

NCT ID NCT06400251

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests the drug ipatasertib in 35 adults with advanced cancers (solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma) that have a specific AKT gene mutation. Ipatasertib is an AKT inhibitor designed to block cancer growth signals. The main goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. Participants will take the drug and undergo biopsies, blood draws, and CT scans to monitor response.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Ipatasertib (an AKT inhibitor drug)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a targeted treatment option for patients with AKT-mutated cancers that are hard to treat.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (35 patients) with no control group. The drug may not shrink tumors or improve survival, and side effects are possible.
