New antibody drug takes aim at Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT07607054
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called EMB-15 in about 50 adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. EMB-15 is a bi-specific antibody designed to help the immune system attack cancer cells. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the drug shows any signs of shrinking tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EMB-15 (a bi-specific antibody targeting ALPP/ALPG and CD3)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 50 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet known. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
