NCT ID NCT05276284

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

Summary

This early-phase trial tested whether adding two chemotherapy drugs (6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine) to an immunotherapy drug (Atezolizumab) could help treat advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The study enrolled 18 adults with metastatic cancer and aimed to find the safest dose and check for any tumor shrinkage. The trial is now complete, but results are not yet reported.

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

Active substance

Atezolizumab (immunotherapy) combined with 6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine (chemotherapy drugs)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial (18 participants) focused on safety and dosing. The combination may cause significant side effects, and it is unknown if it will effectively shrink tumors or extend survival.
