New antibody drug takes aim at Hard-to-Treat brain cancers
NCT ID NCT05916313
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called BI 764532 in 20 adults with a type of brain tumor (glioma) that has a specific marker called DLL3 and hasn't improved with prior treatment. The drug is designed to link cancer cells to immune cells, helping the body fight the tumor. The main goal is to find a safe dose and see if it can be tolerated.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BI 764532 (Obrixtamig), an antibody-like molecule that links cancer cells and immune T-cells
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced glioma that hasn't responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small Phase 1 trial focused on safety and dosing, not yet on effectiveness. The drug may not shrink tumors or may cause side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female participants ≥18 years old and at least at the legal age of consent in countries where it is greater than 18 years at the time of signature of the first informed consent form (ICF1). 2. Signed and dated written informed consent (ICF1 and ICF2) in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation-Good clinical practice (ICH-GCP) and local legislation prior to admission to the trial. 3. Patients with histologically confirmed primary progressive diffuse glioma who have failed standard of care therapies. 4. Availability of archival tumour tissue for Delta-like 3 (DLL3) expression by central assessment. 5. Tumours must be positive for DLL3 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on archived tumour tissue according to central pathology review. 6. Documented unequivocal progression after radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy with measurable disease by response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria. 7. Karnofsky performance score ≥70. Further inclusion criteria apply. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous treatment in this trial. 2. Current enrolment in another investigational device or drug trial. 3. Presence of extracranial metastatic or leptomeningeal disease. 4. Previous treatment with therapies targeting DLL3. 5. Prior treatment with bevacizumab or other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) or anti-angiogenic treatment within 6 months prior to first administration of BI 764532. 6. Recent anti-cancer therapy: treatment with any other anticancer drug within 21 days or within 5 half-life periods (whichever is shorter) prior to first administration of BI 764532. 7. Radiotherapy within the 3 months prior to the diagnosis of progression; unless tumour progression is clearly outside the radiation field or tumour progression is unequivocally proven by surgery/biopsy. Further exclusion criteria apply.
