New cancer drug OP-3136 enters first human tests
NCT ID NCT06784193
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests a new drug called OP-3136 in people with advanced breast, lung, or prostate cancers that have not responded to other treatments. The drug works by blocking certain enzymes that help cancer cells grow. The study will first find a safe dose, then test it alone or with other drugs. About 180 adults will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- OP-3136 (a KAT6A/B inhibitor drug)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced breast, lung, or prostate cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial, so the drug may not be safe or effective. Only a small number of participants will receive it, and side effects are unknown.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Participants with advanced or metastatic ER+HER2- breast cancer, mCRPC, or NSCLC (Part 1) or advanced or metastatic ER+HER2- BC or mCRPC (Part 2). * Part 1A (Dose escalation for OP-3136 monotherapy): Participants must have a tumor that is unresectable or metastatic and for which life prolonging measures do not exist or available therapies are intolerable or no longer effective. * Part 1B (Dose escalation for OP-3136 in combination with fulvestrant): Participants with advanced or metastatic ER+ HER2- breast cancer that have progressed on or after at least 1 prior line of treatment that included endocrine therapy and CDK 4/6 inhibitor in advanced or metastatic setting and must have received no more than 2 prior lines of endocrine therapy (one of which must be in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitor) and no more than 1 prior line of chemotherapy or an antibody-drug conjugate in the advanced or metastatic setting. * Part 1C (Dose escalation for OP-3136 in combination with palazestrant): Participants with advanced or metastatic ER+ HER2- breast cancer that have progressed on or after at least 1 prior line of treatment that included endocrine therapy and CDK 4/6 inhibitor in advanced or metastatic setting and must have received no more than 2 prior lines of endocrine therapy (one of which must be in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitor) and no more than 1 prior line of chemotherapy or an antibody-drug conjugate in the advanced or metastatic setting. * Part 2A (Dose Expansion in ER+ HER2- mBC for OP-3136 monotherapy): Participants must have received up to 3 prior lines of endocrine therapy (one of which must be in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitor) and up to 1 prior line of chemotherapy or an antibody-drug conjugate. * Part 2A (Dose Expansion in mCRPC for OP-3136 monotherapy): Participants must have received up to 4 lines of prior systemic therapy for prostate cancer. Prior therapy must include treatment with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor(s). * Part 2B (Dose Expansion in ER+ HER2- mBC for OP-3136 in combination with fulvestrant OR Dose Expansion in ER+ HER2- mBC for OP-3136 in combination with palazestrant): Participants must have progressed on or after at least 1 prior line of treatment that included endocrine therapy and CDK 4/6 inhibitor in advanced or metastatic setting. Participants must have received no more than 2 prior lines of endocrine therapy in the advanced or metastatic setting and no more than 1 prior line of chemotherapy or an antibody-drug conjugate in the advanced or metastatic setting. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Prior therapy with KAT6A/B inhibitor in any treatment setting. * Participants with advanced/metastatic, symptomatic, visceral spread, that are at risk of life-threatening complications in the short term. * Known active or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases, carcinomatous meningitis, leptomeningeal disease, or a spinal cord compression that require CNS-specific treatment, or participants who did not demonstrate clinical and radiologic stability during the last 2 months prior to the first dose of study treatment or require or are currently on steroid therapy for CNS metastases. * History of cerebral vascular disease, including transient ischemic attack, within 6 months prior to the first dose of study treatment. * History of or ongoing impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease within 6 months prior to the first dose of study treatment. Note: Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
