Radioactive injection targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT07274852
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests a radioactive drug called lutetium BL-ARC001 in 22 people with advanced lung, breast, head and neck, or other solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies. The drug is given by IV infusion over a 6-week cycle. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and get a first look at whether it can shrink tumors.
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 injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new targeted radiation therapy for several advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase I trial with only 22 participants, so safety and dosing are still being determined. The treatment may not shrink tumors or could cause significant side effects.
