Cancer drug combo trial pulled before it even started
NCT ID NCT06152523
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This was a planned Phase 2 trial to test two immunotherapy drugs—monalizumab and MEDI5752—in people with metastatic cancers that have a specific genetic feature called MSI/dMMR. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data or results are available. The goal would have been to see if the combination could shrink tumors and control the disease.

At least one measurable lesion as assessed by CT-scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) according to RECIST v1.1 and feasibility of repeated radiological assessments. Participants with lesions in a previously irradiated field as the sole site of measurable disease will be permitted to enroll provided the lesion(s) have demonstrated clear progression and can be measured accurately, 11.

Females of childbearing potential: \- Must have negative pregnancy test at screening , prior to each administration of investigational product and at each follow-up visit until 140 days after last treatment; * If sexually active with a nonsterilized male partner, must use at least one highly effective method of birth control from screening to 140 days after the last dose of MEDI5752 and monalizumab; * IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT nonsterilized male partners of female subjects of childbearing potential use a male condom plus spermicide from screening to 140 days after the last dose of MEDI5752 (Note: Male condoms are not reliable as a sole contraception method) * Refer to APPENDIX 18.1 : Definition of Women of Childbearing Potential for definitions of females of childbearing potential 15. Female subjects must not breastfeed and must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from screening to 140 days after the last dose of MEDI5752 and monalizumab 16. Nonsterilized male subjects who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a condom with spermicide from screening to 140 days after the last dose of MEDI5752 and monalizumab (Note: Male condoms are not reliable as a sole contraception method). IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT female partners of a male subject also use at least one highly effective method of contraception throughout this period. In addition, male subjects must refrain from fathering a child or donating sperm during the study and for 140 days after the last dose of MEDI5752 and monalizumab. 17.
