New drug combo takes on tough cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT06764771
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called BMS-986488, alone or combined with other cancer drugs, in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to check safety and find the right dose. About 437 adults with certain cancers like kidney, lung, or colorectal cancer are taking part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BMS-986488 (an experimental drug), sometimes combined with adagrasib, cetuximab, or nivolumab
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for certain advanced cancers that are hard to treat.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial focused on safety, not yet on effectiveness. It is small and may not lead to a proven therapy. Side effects are unknown and could be serious.
