New antibody drug takes aim at Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT04881045
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tested a new drug called PF-07257876 in 29 people with advanced lung, head/neck, or ovarian cancers that had stopped responding to other treatments. The drug is a bispecific antibody designed to help the immune system attack cancer cells. The main goals were to check safety and find the right dose, not yet to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PF-07257876 (a bispecific antibody targeting CD47 and PD-L1)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 29 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. It is too soon to know if the drug will shrink tumors or improve survival, and side effects are unknown.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Histological/cytological diagnosis of selected advanced or metastatic tumor * Prior treatment with PD-1 (Programmed cell death 1) or PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1) in NSCLC and SCCHN or platinum-based therapy in Ovarian cancer * Confirmed radiographic progression of disease * PD-L1 IHC positivity ≥1% * Have ≥1 measurable lesion as defined by RECIST 1.1 that has not been previously irradiated * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1 * Adequate hematologic, renal and liver functions * Resolved acute effects of any prior therapy * Participants in Part 1 must be able to provide archival tumor tissue collected within the prior 6 months or consent to undergo a fresh biopsy during screening. Participants enrolled to the MTD (Maximum Tolerated Dose) cohort in Part 1 must consent to mandatory paired pre-treatment and on-treatment biopsies. Participants in Part 2 must consent to a pre-treatment biopsy and a subset of patients must consent to a paired on-study biopsy as well until the Sponsor deems an adequate number have been received. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with known brain metastasis larger than 4 cm or that is symptomatic. New brain metastases detected at screening. Participants with previously diagnosed brain metastases are eligible if they have completed treatment and recovered from acute effects prior to study entry. * Abnormal neurological assessment by investigator * Other active malignancy within 3 years prior to enrollment, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ * Major surgery or radiation therapy within 4 weeks prior to planned first dose * Last systemic anti-cancer therapy within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to planned first dose (6 weeks for mitomycin C or nitrosoureas) * Active bleeding disorder in the past 6 months prior to first dose * History of clinically significant severe immune mediated adverse event that was considered related to prior immune modulatory therapy and required immunosuppressive therapy (other than hormone replacement therapy) * History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (including pneumonitis), drug-induced pneumonitis, organizing pneumonia (ie, bronchiolitis obliterans, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia), evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT(computer tomography) scan * Anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists or factor Xa inhibitors is not allowed * Treatment with chronic systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications * Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 4 weeks prior to planned first dose * Active, uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infection, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection * Active COVID-19/SARS-CoV2 * Pregnant or breastfeeding female participant * Organ transplant requiring immunosuppressive treatment or prior allogeneic bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cell transplant * Significant cardiac or pulmonary conditions or events within previous 6 months
