Promising combo for rare cancer mutation stalls as study ends early

NCT ID NCT06682806

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase study tested a new drug called PRT3789 combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in people with advanced solid tumors that have a SMARCA4 gene mutation. The goal was to see if the combination was safe and could shrink tumors. However, the study was terminated early and only enrolled 6 participants, so we have very limited information about how well 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

PRT3789 and pembrolizumab (Keytruda)

What this could lead to

If it works, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat cancers that have a specific genetic change (SMARCA4 mutation).

What could go wrong

The study was terminated early and only enrolled 6 people, so there is very little data. It is too early to know if the combination is safe or effective, and it may not work at all.
