Experimental COM902 drug shows promise in early cancer trial
NCT ID NCT04354246
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested an experimental drug called COM902, alone or with other drugs, in 94 people with advanced cancers like ovarian, lung, and colon cancer. The main goal was to check safety and find the right dose. Researchers also looked for early signs that the drug might help control tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- COM902 (an experimental antibody) given alone or with COM701 and pembrolizumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that have not responded to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 94 participants, so the main goal is safety, not effectiveness. The drug may not shrink tumors or may cause side effects.
