New smart drug targets cancer cells in early trial
NCT ID NCT05948865
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests CPO301, a drug designed to seek out and attack cancer cells that have a protein called EGFR on their surface. About 132 adults with advanced solid tumors (including lung, breast, and head & neck cancers) will receive the drug by IV every three weeks. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and see early signs of tumor shrinkage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CPO301 (also known as SYS6010), an antibody-drug conjugate that targets EGFR on cancer cells
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors like lung cancer that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.

Major Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * Patients with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have disease progression, intolerance to prior therapy, are ineligible for available therapies, or refuse standard of care therapy in the metastatic setting. * In Part A, patients with solid tumors including but not limited to NSCLC (adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma), breast cancer, KRAS-wild type colorectal cancer, and head \& neck cancer based on previous biopsy result. * In Part B, Cohort 1 will exclusively include NSCLC patients with documented EGFR mutations based on previous biopsy result and Cohort 2 will be patients with other cancer(s) suggested to have sensitivity to CPO301 in Part A. * At least 1 measurable target lesion present and documented by CT or MRI according to RECIST v1.1 * ECOG performance status 0 or 1 at screening * Life expectancy \>12 weeks Major Exclusion Criteria: * Known, active, or uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) metastasis or carcinomatous meningitis. * Has AEs due to previous anti-tumor treatments not recovered to ≤Grade 1 (except for alopecia; some tolerable chronic toxicities of Grade 2 may be excluded after consultation with the sponsor, as judged by the investigator) according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0. * Any serious and/or uncontrolled concurrent illness that may interfere with study participation Prior therapy * Received other investigational drugs or treatments within 4 weeks before the first dose of the investigational drug in the study * The time interval between the latest anti-tumor treatment and the first dose of the investigational drug meets the following requirements: Have received anti-tumor treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other clinical investigational drugs within 4 weeks before the first dose of the investigational drug; have received oral fluoropyrimidines, small molecule targeted drugs within 2 weeks before the first dose of the investigational drug; have received palliative radiotherapy or local therapy within 2 weeks before the first dose of investigational drug. * Had major surgery within 4 weeks before the first dose of the investigational drug in the study.
