New drug HWK-007 targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT07444814
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new drug called HWK-007 in people with advanced solid tumors, including certain ovarian, endometrial, and lung cancers. The drug is designed to target a protein (PTK7) found on cancer cells and deliver a chemotherapy-like payload directly to them. The main goals are to find the safest dose and check for side effects. About 226 adults will take part, and the study is currently recruiting.
