Experimental drug combo takes on tough cancers
NCT ID NCT05407675
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-phase trial tested an experimental drug called BMS-986408, alone or combined with the immunotherapy drugs nivolumab (Opdivo) and ipilimumab (Yervoy), in 68 people with advanced solid tumors that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goals were to check safety and find the best dose. The study is now complete, but results on effectiveness are not yet reported.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BMS-986408 (an experimental drug) combined with nivolumab (Opdivo) and/or ipilimumab (Yervoy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial focused on safety and dosing, not yet on effectiveness. The combination may cause severe side effects, and it's unknown if it will shrink tumors or improve survival.
