NCT ID NCT04617522

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

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing the drug sacituzumab govitecan in 30 people with advanced solid tumors who also have moderate liver impairment. The main goal is to find a safe starting dose by monitoring side effects and how the drug moves through the body. Participants receive the drug intravenously, and the study will track any serious reactions or lab changes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

sacituzumab govitecan (a drug that combines an antibody with chemotherapy to target cancer cells)

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors find a safe starting dose of sacituzumab govitecan for patients with advanced cancer and liver problems, potentially expanding treatment options.

What could go wrong

This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may still cause serious side effects, especially in people with liver impairment.
