New Four-Pronged antibody takes on advanced breast cancer
NCT ID NCT05160545
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called GNC-035, a tetra-specific antibody designed to attack breast cancer cells in multiple ways. It involves 36 adults with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose disease has worsened after standard treatments. The main goals are to check the drug's safety, find the right dose, and see if it 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
- GNC-035 (a tetra-specific antibody given by IV infusion)
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could point toward a new treatment option for advanced breast cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 36 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not shrink tumors or may cause significant side effects.

Female participants with fertility must have a negative serum/urine pregnancy test in 7 days prior to the first dose 13. The subject is able and willing to follow the visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study-related procedures specified in the study protocol. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Active infection requiring intravenous antibiotics and not treated within 1 week prior to enrollment, except for prophylactic antibiotics for needle stick or biopsy 2.

Toxicity from prior anticancer therapy has not been reduced to Grade I as defined in CTCAE v5.0 (with the exception of symptoms related to myelosuppression, such as neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia;with the exception of peripheral neurotoxicity with mild symptoms, such as numbness of hands and feet) or to the levels specified in the inclusion criteria. Alopecia and irreversible toxicity from prior anticancer therapy (defined as stable for ≥ 2 months) allowed in the opinion of the investigator/sponsor; irAE in patients who have received prior immunotherapy and who are no longer able to receive immunotherapy as recommended by guidelines 4.
