NCT ID NCT07707674

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called XNW28012 in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer whose disease has worsened after at least one prior treatment. XNW28012 is an antibody-drug conjugate designed to seek out a protein called tissue factor on cancer cells and deliver a chemotherapy drug directly to them. The study aims to evaluate the drug's safety, tolerability, and how it moves through the body, while also looking for signs of tumor shrinkage.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an antibody-drug conjugate called XNW28012 that targets tissue factor and delivers a chemotherapy drug
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for metastatic pancreatic cancer, a disease with few effective therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early, small Phase 1 trial focused on safety and dosing, so it is too soon to know if XNW28012 will be effective or have manageable side effects.
