NCT ID NCT06022757

First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether an experimental drug called XNW5004, which blocks a protein that helps cancer grow, can boost the effects of the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The study includes several cancer types, such as head and neck, lung, prostate, and bladder cancers. Researchers aim to find the best dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors.
