New drug AZD9592 enters first human trials for tough cancers
NCT ID NCT05647122
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental drug called AZD9592, alone or with other cancer drugs, in about 167 adults with advanced solid tumors (including lung, head & neck, and colorectal cancers). The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the drug shrinks tumors. Because it is a first-in-human study, the results will help decide if larger trials should move forward.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AZD9592 (an experimental drug given intravenously)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 167 participants, so the drug may not be effective or could cause unexpected side effects. It is not yet known if AZD9592 will work better than existing treatments.
