NCT ID NCT06266299
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests the safety of a new drug called KK2269, given alone or with chemotherapy (docetaxel), in adults with advanced solid tumors that have no standard treatment options. About 101 participants will take part. The study has two parts: first testing KK2269 alone, then testing it with docetaxel in specific cancer types.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KK2269 (an experimental drug) and docetaxel (a chemotherapy drug)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, first-in-human trial focused on safety, not effectiveness. The drug may not work or could cause serious side effects. It will take years before any potential treatment is available.
