New hope for advanced cancers? first human trial launches
NCT ID NCT06427941
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This early-stage study is testing a new drug called BGB-B2033, alone or with other drugs, in people with advanced liver, stomach, or lung cancers. The goal is to see if it is safe and how well it works. About 392 participants will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BGB-B2033, tislelizumab, bevacizumab
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for certain advanced cancers like liver, stomach, and lung cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) study, so the drug may not work or could have serious side effects. It is also small and not yet tested in many people.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants must have one of the following unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic tumor types: 1. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): Histologically or cytologically confirmed HCC that is either Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage C, or BCLC Stage B that is not amenable to, or has progressed after, loco-regional therapy and is not eligible for a curative treatment approach. 2. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric cancer (GC): Histologically confirmed GC with AFP \> 20 ng/mL in blood or tumor tissue positive for AFP by a validated immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay based on local or central testing. 3. Germ cell tumors: Histologically confirmed germ cell tumors including extragonadal yolk sac tumors (e.g., located in the mediastinum, vagina, brain, retroperitoneum), and non-dysgerminomas for which no further curative systemic treatment options exist. 4. Glypican-3 (GPC3)-positive squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Histologically confirmed GPC3-positive squamous NSCLC with prior exposure to a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI). 2. At least one evaluable lesion for dose escalation, and at least one measurable lesion for safety expansion, as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status ≤ 1. 4. Adequate organ function as defined in the protocol. 5.

Active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease with potential for relapse. 4. Any malignancy diagnosed ≤ 2 years before the first dose of study drug(s), except: The cancer type under investigation in this study, or Locally recurring malignancies previously treated with curative intent. 5. Requirement for systemic corticosteroids (\> 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug(s). 6.
