Experimental cancer drug LY3405105 fails to advance in early trial
NCT ID NCT03770494
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase study tested the safety of an oral drug called LY3405105 in 54 people with advanced solid tumors. The trial was divided into two parts to find the right dose and to see if the drug could shrink tumors. However, the study was terminated early, meaning the drug did not show enough promise or had too many side effects to continue.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LY3405105 (oral drug)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a treatment for advanced solid tumors.
- What could go wrong
- This was an early phase 1 trial with only 54 participants, and it was terminated early. The drug may not be effective or safe enough to continue development.
