NCT ID NCT06795412
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called PYX-201 combined with pembrolizumab in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to find safe doses and see if the combination can shrink tumors. About 220 adults with certain cancers like head and neck, breast, or stomach cancer can join.
