NCT ID NCT05233436

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

Summary

This early-stage study tested an experimental oral drug (PF-07265028) alone or combined with an immunotherapy injection (sasanlimab) in 21 people with advanced solid tumors, including stomach, lung, and head/neck cancers. The main goals were to find a safe dose and check for side effects. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited and no conclusions about effectiveness can be drawn.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
PF-07265028 (oral drug) and sasanlimab (injectable immunotherapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for several advanced cancers, potentially shrinking tumors or slowing their growth.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 21 participants, now terminated. It was designed mainly to check safety and dosing, not to prove effectiveness. Many early cancer drugs fail to show benefit in larger studies.
