New drug ATG-022 enters human testing for Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT05718895
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called ATG-022 in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goal is to find a safe dose and check for side effects. Up to 156 participants will receive the drug every three weeks, and researchers will also watch for any signs that the tumors shrink or stop growing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ATG-022 (a drug given by IV every 3 weeks)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 156 participants, focused on finding a safe dose. It is too soon to know if ATG-022 will shrink tumors or improve survival, and there may be side effects.

Primary central nervous system disease or central nervous system metastatic disease. 2. Prior exposure to a Claudin 18.2 targeting agent. 3. Prior therapy with any chemotherapy, immunotherapy, anticancer agents, or investigational products from a previous clinical study within 28 days of the first dose of study treatment or within a period during which the investigational product or systemic anticancer treatment has not been cleared from the body (eg, a period of 5 'half-lives'. 4. Prior vaccination within 28 days of the first dose of study therapy. 5. Prior any solid organ transplant. Autologous stem cell transplant or CAR-T cell infusion \< 6 months prior to the first dose of study treatment. 6. Active infection including hepatitis B, and/or hepatitis C. 7. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. 8. Any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than Grade 1 at the time of ICF signature, with the exception of alopecia. 9.
