What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This trial tests an experimental drug called VBC106 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. VBC106 is designed to target two proteins (FRα and MSLN) found on some cancer cells, delivering a toxic payload directly to the tumor. The study has two parts: first, finding the safest dose, and then testing how well that dose works in specific cancer types.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
VBC106 (a bispecific antibody drug conjugate targeting FRα and MSLN)
What this could lead to
If successful, VBC106 could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2a) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or may cause significant side effects. It is too early to know if it will benefit patients broadly.
