New pill targets rare cancer mutation in early trial
NCT ID NCT04585750
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called rezatapopt (PC14586) in people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific TP53 Y220C mutation. The drug is designed to reactivate the p53 protein, which normally helps stop cancer growth. The trial will also test rezatapopt combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab. About 300 participants will be enrolled to check safety, dosing, and whether the drug shrinks tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- rezatapopt (PC14586) and pembrolizumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new targeted treatment option for people with advanced cancers that have a specific TP53 Y220C mutation, potentially shrinking tumors or slowing disease progression.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not work as hoped or could cause unexpected side effects. The mutation is rare, so results may not apply to most cancer patients.
Why investors are watching
PMV Pharmaceuticals runs this trial of rezatapopt, a drug that targets tumors with a specific TP53 Y220C mutation. The study tests whether the drug is safe and can control these tumors, first alone and then combined with pembrolizumab. For a micro-cap company with this as a lead program, the result shapes whether the drug moves forward.
If it works: If rezatapopt controls tumors in these patients, the company could advance the program and attract partners or funding for larger trials.
If it fails: If the drug fails to control tumors or causes safety problems, the program could stall. Most early-stage cancer trials do not succeed, and a small company has few other assets to fall back on.
