New drug duo shows promise for tough cancers
NCT ID NCT05235542
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two experimental drugs (AK104 and AK117) together, sometimes with chemotherapy, in 128 people with advanced solid tumors. The goal was to see if the combination is safe and can shrink tumors. It focused on patients with stomach, esophageal, or other advanced cancers that had stopped responding to standard treatments.
