First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage study tested a new drug called PF-08046037, alone or with another drug (sasanlimab), in 8 people with advanced lung, pancreatic, melanoma, or head & neck cancers. The goal was to check safety and how the body handles the drugs. The trial was terminated early, so results are very limited.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

PF-08046037 (also called SGN-PDL1iT) and sasanlimab

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for certain advanced cancers that have stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This was a very early Phase 1 trial with only 8 participants, and it was terminated early. It is too small and preliminary to know if the drug is safe or effective.
