New antibody takes on Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT04243499
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called ICT01, a lab-made antibody, in 292 people with advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug is given alone or with another cancer drug (Keytruda). The main goals are to check safety and see if the drug can control tumor growth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ICT01 (a monoclonal antibody targeting BTN3A)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1/2 trial, so the main goal is safety, not proof of effectiveness. It may not work for many patients, and side effects are unknown.
