New drug ARC101 enters first human tests for Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT06672185
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests a new drug called ARC101 in 70 people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific marker (Claudin 6). The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the drug can shrink tumors. Participants must have ovarian, testicular, or other Claudin 6-positive cancers that have not responded to standard treatments.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors that are Claudin 6 positive.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, first-in-human study with only 70 participants. The drug may not be effective or could cause serious side effects.
