Radioactive drug targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT07232407
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new radioactive drug, lutetium BL-ARC001, in 22 people with advanced gastrointestinal or other solid tumors that have spread. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see early signs of tumor shrinkage. Participants receive the drug by IV every 6 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lutetium [177Lu] BL-ARC001 (a radioactive drug given by IV infusion)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a new targeted treatment option for advanced gastrointestinal and other solid tumors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase I trial with only 22 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
