New immunotherapy shows promise against multiple advanced cancers

NCT ID NCT02908906

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new drug called Cetrelimab (JNJ-63723283) in 234 people with advanced solid tumors like lung, melanoma, bladder, and colorectal cancers. The drug works by blocking PD-1, a protein that stops the immune system from attacking cancer cells. The trial has two parts: first to find the safest dose, then to see how well it shrinks tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Cetrelimab (JNJ-63723283), an immunotherapy drug that helps the immune system attack cancer cells

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for several advanced cancers, potentially shrinking tumors and extending life.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not work for many people. Immunotherapy can cause serious side effects like inflammation in healthy organs.
