NCT ID NCT07229313
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called KIVU-107 in 76 adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. KIVU-107 is an antibody-drug conjugate designed to target and kill cancer cells. The main goal is to find a safe dose and check for side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KIVU-107 (an antibody-drug conjugate targeting PTK7)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) and small trial (76 people), so safety and effectiveness are not yet known. The drug may cause side effects or not shrink tumors.
