Double-Action antibody takes on Hard-to-Treat neuroendocrine cancers
NCT ID NCT05879055
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase II trial tests a new drug called PM8002, a bispecific antibody that targets two proteins (PD-L1 and VEGF) involved in tumor growth and immune evasion. It is given together with standard chemotherapy (FOLFIRI) to people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors that have worsened after initial platinum-based chemotherapy. The study aims to see if the combination can shrink tumors and control the disease, while monitoring side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PM8002 (a bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and VEGF) combined with FOLFIRI chemotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new second-line treatment option for people with aggressive neuroendocrine tumors that have stopped responding to initial chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase II study with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The combination may cause side effects, and the treatment may not shrink tumors or improve survival.
