New drug combo takes on Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT06480552
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental drug called TEV-56278, alone or with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab, in 240 people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the drug can shrink tumors. Participants will be treated for up to 12 months, with possible extension.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TEV-56278 (an experimental drug) and pembrolizumab (a cancer immunotherapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 240 participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe enough to advance. Side effects are unknown and could be serious.
