New cancer drug DB-1317 enters first human tests
NCT ID NCT07141706
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new drug called DB-1317 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The study has two parts: first, finding a safe dose, and then expanding to see if the drug shows any signs of shrinking tumors. About 233 participants will take part across multiple centers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DB-1317 (a drug given by IV)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) trial, so the main goal is safety, not effectiveness. It may not shrink tumors or improve survival, and side effects are unknown.
