New drug combo takes on Hard-to-Treat cancers in first human trial

NCT ID NCT06108050

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

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an investigational drug called JZP898, both by itself and together with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab, in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the combination can shrink tumors. About 177 participants will take part across multiple centers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

JZP898 (an investigational drug) and pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 177 participants, so the drug may not prove safe or effective. Side effects are unknown, and the combination with pembrolizumab could increase risks.
