Experimental cancer combo trial halted early – what it means for patients

NCT ID NCT04278144

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called BDC-1001, alone or with the immunotherapy nivolumab, in 175 people with advanced HER2-positive cancers (like breast, colorectal, and stomach cancers) that had stopped responding to other treatments. The study aimed to check safety and find the right dose, but it was terminated early, so full results are not available. The approach tries to stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells, but it is still experimental.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
BDC-1001 (an immune-stimulating antibody conjugate) and nivolumab (Opdivo, an immunotherapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced HER2-positive cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This was a very early (Phase 1/2) trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The combination may cause significant immune-related side effects, and it is unclear if it will work better than existing treatments.
