New targeted drug shows promise for rare genetic cancer
NCT ID NCT05094336
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new drug called anvumetostat, alone or with chemotherapy (docetaxel), in adults with advanced solid tumors that lack the MTAP gene. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if it shrinks tumors. About 329 people will take part across multiple phases.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Anvumetostat (a targeted drug) and docetaxel (chemotherapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that lack the MTAP gene.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not work or may cause serious side effects. Results may not apply to all cancer types.
