Triple-Action antibody takes aim at advanced breast cancer
NCT ID NCT07738341
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This trial is testing an experimental drug called GB268, a tri-specific antibody that targets three key pathways involved in cancer growth. It is being studied alone or in combination with other treatments in people with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The goal is to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and effective at shrinking tumors. The study includes multiple groups based on breast cancer subtype and prior treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GB268, a tri-specific antibody targeting PD-1, CTLA-4, and VEGF, given alone or with chemotherapy or antibody-drug conjugates
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for advanced breast cancer, potentially shrinking tumors and extending life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial, so the drug may not work or may cause side effects. Results are preliminary and need confirmation in larger studies.

Cohort-Specific Requirements: Cohort A: Histologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer \[TNBC\]; no prior systemic therapy for advanced disease; prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant taxane allowed if recurrence ≥6 months after last taxane dose; no prior Trop-2 Antibody-Drug Conjugate \[ADC\]. Cohort B: Histologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or metastatic TNBC; no prior systemic therapy for advanced disease; prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant taxane allowed if recurrence ≥12 months after last taxane dose. Cohort E: Histologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer; disease progression after ≥1 line of endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor and/or fulvestrant) and CDK4/6i in advanced setting; received ≥1 line of systemic chemotherapy in advanced setting; no prior Trop-2 ADC. Cohort F: Histologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer; disease progression after ≥1 line of endocrine therapy and CDK4/6i with primary or secondary endocrine resistance; prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant taxane allowed if recurrence ≥12 months after last taxane dose. Cohort G: Histologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer; prior CDK4/6i and endocrine therapy in any setting; received a TROP2 or HER2 ADC in advanced setting. Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years, male or female. 2. Histologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or metastatic breast cancer (Triple-Negative Breast Cancer \[TNBC\] or Hormone Receptor-Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative \[HR+/HER2-\]). 3. At least one measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 \[RECIST v1.1\]. 4.
