New antibody combo tested against hard-to-treat cancers
NCT ID NCT04083599
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-phase trial tests an experimental antibody called GEN1042, given alone or with the cancer drug pembrolizumab (and sometimes chemotherapy), in people with advanced solid tumors like lung, colon, melanoma, head and neck, or pancreatic cancer. The main goals are to check safety and see if the drug shrinks tumors. About 350 adults whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments will take part.
