New antibody drug targets deadly heart shock in early trial

NCT ID NCT06832722

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new antibody drug called procizumab in 130 people with cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood. The drug blocks a protein called DPP3, which is linked to worse outcomes. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

procizumab (also called invobenitug or AK1967), a monoclonal antibody

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment for cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening condition with few options.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 1b/2a trial with only 130 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not improve survival or heart function, and side effects are unknown.
