New immune therapy drug enters human testing for tough cancers

NCT ID NCT05082610

Summary

This first-in-human study tested a new experimental drug called HMBD-002, which targets a protein on cancer cells called VISTA. The trial aimed to find a safe dose and schedule for giving HMBD-002 alone and combined with the approved immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) in 48 adults with advanced solid tumors that had stopped responding to other treatments. The main goals were to check for side effects and determine the best dose for future studies.
