First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called ST101 in people with advanced solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread. The trial includes cancers like glioblastoma, melanoma, breast, and prostate cancer. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

ST101 (an experimental drug given intravenously)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for several hard-to-treat cancers like glioblastoma and metastatic melanoma.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 1-2 trial with only 125 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not shrink tumors or improve survival, and side effects are unknown.
