NCT ID NCT07730190

First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called TQB6426 in people with advanced cancers that have not responded to other treatments. TQB6426 is designed to seek out a protein called GPC3 on cancer cells and deliver a chemotherapy-like payload directly to them. The study aims to find a safe dose and understand how the drug behaves in the body.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an experimental antibody-drug conjugate called TQB6426 that targets a protein (GPC3) found on some cancer cells
What this could lead to
If safe and effective, TQB6426 could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that express the GPC3 protein.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 1 trial, so the drug may not work as hoped or could cause serious side effects. It is too soon to know if it will benefit patients.
