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

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new drug called STC-15, either alone or combined with an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab), in people with advanced solid tumors or certain sarcomas. The study aims to check safety and whether the drugs shrink tumors. About 107 participants will be enrolled at multiple centers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

STC-15 (a METTL3 inhibitor) and toripalimab (an immunotherapy drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced cancers and sarcomas that have stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe enough for wider use. Side effects are possible, and the combination therapy may not work better than existing treatments.
