First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a drug called 177Lu-FAP-2286, which delivers radiation directly to cancer cells. It is for people with advanced solid tumors (like pancreatic, lung, or breast cancer) that have a specific protein called FAP. The trial has two parts: Phase 1 finds the safest dose, and Phase 2 checks if the drug shrinks tumors, alone or with chemotherapy. About 222 adults will take part.

Active substance

177Lu-FAP-2286 (a radioactive drug that targets cancer cells)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors like pancreatic, lung, or breast cancer.

What could go wrong
