New antibody TST003 takes on Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT05731271
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new drug called TST003 in about 111 people with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery). TST003 is an antibody that blocks a protein called GREM1, which may help tumors grow. The main goals are to find a safe dose, check for side effects, and see if the drug can shrink tumors. Participants receive the drug through an IV once every three weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TST003 (a lab-made antibody that targets a protein called GREM1)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with only 111 participants, so the drug may not prove effective or may have unexpected side effects. It is also only for patients with tumors that have a specific marker (GREM1 positive).
