New pill targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in early human trial
NCT ID NCT07593144
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests an experimental oral drug called FS-207 in 156 adults with advanced solid tumors that have a specific DNA repair flaw (MSI-H). The drug works by blocking a protein (WRN) that these cancer cells need to survive. The study aims to find a safe dose and check for early signs that the drug shrinks tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- FS-207 (an oral drug that targets the WRN protein)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new oral treatment option for people with MSI-H advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial, so the drug may not be safe or effective. Only a small number of patients will be tested, and results may not apply to everyone.

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\) Male or female patients aged ≥18 years at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form; 2) Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, whose disease has progressed or who have experienced intolerable toxicity following prior standard therapy. Additionally, participants must meet the following criterion: they have previously received treatment with at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), and this treatment was deemed a failure due to disease progression or was discontinued due to intolerable toxicity; 3) Participants must provide a test report confirming a positive MSI-H/dMMR status in their tumor tissue; 4) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score: 0-1; 5) Anticipated life expectancy of ≥3 months; 6) Presence of at least one measurable lesion (according to RECIST v1.1 criteria, a measurable lesion is defined as a non-lymph node lesion with a longest diameter of ≥10 mm, or a lymph node lesion with a short axis of ≥15 mm, as measured by CT or MRI); 7) Female or male participants of childbearing potential must agree not to conceive, donate ova, or donate sperm from the date of signing the Informed Consent Form until 3 months after the last treatment administered in the study; furthermore, during this period, they must agree to utilize effective contraception (including one or more non-pharmacological contraceptive methods) or safety measures; 9) Agrees to comply with all requirements and procedures of the clinical trial and voluntarily signs the Informed Consent Form. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\) Known diagnosis of Werner syndrome; 2) Prior treatment with any medication targeting Werner syndrome helicase (WRN); 3) Receipt of any anti-tumor therapy within 3 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose; 4) Patients with adverse events related to prior anti-tumor therapy that have not resolved to Grade ≤1 (according to NCI CTCAE v6.0), excluding toxicities deemed by the investigator to pose no safety risk-such as alopecia, Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy, hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement therapy, mild rash, hyperpigmentation, etc.-with specific cases subject to the investigator's judgment; 5) Undergone, or scheduled to undergo during the study period, major surgery (excluding procedures for vascular access placement, or biopsies performed via laparoscopy, mediastinoscopy, or thoracoscopy) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose; or undergone radical radiotherapy (palliative radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose); 6) Leptomeningeal metastases; central nervous system (CNS) metastases with clinical symptoms; or other evidence indicating that CNS metastases are not adequately controlled, as determined by the investigator to render the participant unsuitable for enrollment. 7) Patients with symptomatic and unstable pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion, as determined by the investigator (patients whose clinical symptoms stabilize following therapeutic drainage of pleural fluid, ascites, or pericardial fluid may be enrolled); 8) Patients with other severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, as determined by the investigator, including but not limited to interstitial lung disease, non-infectious pneumonitis; uncontrolled diabetes, renal disease requiring dialysis, severe hepatic disease (Child-Pugh Class B or C), acute pancreatitis, etc.; 9) Patients with cardiovascular diseases of significant clinical relevance; 10\) Patients with dysphagia, or gastrointestinal dysfunction or disease that could significantly affect the absorption of FS-207 tablets (e.g., severe ulcerative disease, poorly controlled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, small bowel resection, etc.); 11) Patients with active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment, or a history of autoimmune disease with a potential for recurrence; 12) Patients with active Hepatitis B; active Hepatitis C; or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection; 13) Patients who have received a live vaccine or attenuated live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study medication; administration of inactivated vaccines is permitted; 14) Patients who have received treatment with other investigational drugs not yet approved for marketing, or who have participated in clinical trials involving interventional medical devices, within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study medication; 15) Patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) (patients suspected of having active TB must undergo further evaluation by an infectious disease specialist to establish a definitive diagnosis) or a history of active TB; 16) Patients with any active infection requiring systemic treatment occurring within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study medication; 17) Participants with a known or suspected history of severe allergic reactions to any component of the investigational drug, or a history of uncontrolled allergic asthma; 18) Patients who have previously undergone organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; 19) History of substance abuse, or known medical, psychological, or social conditions-such as a history of alcoholism or drug abuse; 20) Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or women of childbearing potential who have a positive pregnancy test result during the screening period; 21) Any other conditions that the investigator deems render the participant unsuitable for participation in this trial.
