New drug cocktail takes on advanced lung cancer in first human trial
NCT ID NCT07229599
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called MHB036C combined with other anti-cancer medicines in 300 people with advanced lung cancer. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors. Participants must have tried standard treatments without success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MHB036C (an experimental drug) combined with MHB039A, furmonertinib, or carboplatin
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced lung cancer patients who have run out of standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early first-in-human trial, so safety and effectiveness are not yet known. The combination may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1. 4. Estimated life expectancy ≥ 3 months. 5. For the dose escalation stage: Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors that are refractory to standard therapy, intolerant to standard therapy, or have no standard treatment options. 6.

At least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1 criteria. 8. Adequate bone marrow reserve and organ function. 9. Eligible participants of childbearing potential (males and females) must agree to take highly reliable contraceptive measures with their partners during the study and within at least 12 weeks after the last dose. \- Exclusion Criteria: 1. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) components in the histopathology. 2. History of ≥2 primary malignancies within 5 years prior to informed consent. 3. Received chemotherapy within 3 weeks, radiotherapy within 4 weeks, or biologic, endocrine, or immunotherapy within 4 weeks before first study dose. 4. Medication of other unmarketed investigational drugs or therapies within 4 weeks before dosing. 5. Brain metastases, leptomeningeal disease, brainstem metastases, or spinal cord compression. 6. Underwent major organ surgery (excluding biopsy) or significant trauma within 4 weeks before the first dose of investigational drug or requiring elective surgery during the study. 7. Previous or concurrent gastrointestinal perforation, surgical procedures and wound healing complications, as well as bleeding events. 8. Received intravenous thrombolysis treatment within 2 weeks, except for preventive anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy. 9. Vaccinated within 4 weeks before dosing. 10. Treated with systemic corticosteroids within 14 days before dosing. 11. Severe impairment of pulmonary function; interstitial lung disease or a history of pneumonia requiring steroid treatment; previous left or right pneumonectomy. 12. Active systemic infection requiring treatment within 7 days before dosing. 13. Uncontrolled third-space effusion. 14. Serious cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. 15. Known hypersensitivity or delayed allergic reaction to the investigational product or its components. 16. Drug abuse or other medical/psychiatric condition that may interfere with study participation or results. 17. Known alcohol or drug dependence. 18.
