New cancer drug trial halted early – what we know

NCT ID NCT05252390

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

Summary

This early-stage trial tested an experimental drug called NUV-868, alone or with other cancer drugs, in 82 adults with advanced solid tumors (including ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, and breast cancers). The goal was to find safe doses and check for early signs of effectiveness. However, the study was terminated early, so full results are not available.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

NUV-868 (an experimental oral drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors like ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, or breast cancer.

What could go wrong

This was a very early (Phase 1/2) trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The drug may not prove effective or safe in larger studies.
