Experimental cancer drug trial halted early
NCT ID NCT02597036
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tested an experimental drug called LY3127804, alone or combined with another cancer drug (ramucirumab), in 62 people with advanced solid tumors. The main goal was to find a safe dose. The study was terminated early, and researchers could not determine a maximum safe dose because no dose-limiting side effects were reported.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LY3127804 (an experimental antibody) and ramucirumab (a cancer drug)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very early (Phase 1) study that was terminated before completion. No maximum safe dose was determined, and it is unclear if the drug will be effective.
