New hope for HER2 cancers: first human trial launches

NCT ID NCT05523947

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests an experimental drug called YH32367 in people with HER2-positive solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The study has two parts: first, finding a safe dose, then testing that dose in specific cancer types like biliary tract cancer. About 147 participants will be enrolled to check safety, how the drug moves through the body, and whether it shrinks tumors.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with HER2-positive cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a very early first-in-human study, so safety and effectiveness are not yet known. The drug may not shrink tumors or could cause unexpected side effects.
