New cancer pill shows promise in early trial
NCT ID NCT05025358
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tested a new oral drug called LP-118 in 68 people with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas that had stopped responding to standard treatments. LP-118 works by blocking two proteins that help cancer cells survive. The main goals were to find a safe dose and check for side effects, while also looking for signs that the drug might shrink tumors. Results will help decide whether to test LP-118 in larger trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LP-118 (a BCL-2/BCL-XL inhibitor)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors and lymphomas that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 68 participants, focused on safety and dosing. It is too small and early to know if LP-118 will work or be safe for wider use.
