New Immune-Engaging drug takes aim at Hard-to-Treat ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT07690189
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an investigational drug called NTB-928 in women with ovarian cancer that has come back or no longer responds to standard treatments. NTB-928 is designed to direct the body's immune T cells to attack cancer cells by targeting a protein called FRα. The study aims to find a safe dose, understand how the drug moves through the body, and look for early signs that it may shrink tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NTB-928
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet established. Side effects may limit dosing, and the drug may not show meaningful anti-cancer activity.
