Radioactive 'Smart Bomb' targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in first human test

NCT ID NCT06147037

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

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new drug that delivers a tiny amount of radiation directly to cancer cells. It is for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, colon, or pancreatic cancer) that have not responded to standard treatments. The study will check if the drug is safe, how it spreads in the body, and what dose might work best.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

a radioactive drug (actinium-225 attached to a targeting antibody) that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 70 participants, so safety and the right dose are still being figured out. The radioactive drug may cause side effects and may not shrink tumors.
