New Two-Part cancer drug enters first human tests
NCT ID NCT06959706
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called TGW101 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. TGW101 is given in two parts: an antibody-drug conjugate and a chemical trigger that activates it. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose, while also looking at how the drug moves through the body and whether it 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
- TGW101 (a two-part drug: an antibody-drug conjugate and a chemical trigger)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 50 participants, focused mainly on safety. It is too soon to know if TGW101 will be effective, and side effects are unknown.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Written informed consent prior to any study procedures. 2. Males or females 18 years or older. 3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor malignancy listed below, with radiographic evidence of disease progression based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1), or for castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3, after most recent treatment and locally advanced or metastatic disease at Screening: 1. Breast cancer (all subtypes). 2. Castrate-resistant prostate cancer. 3. Cervical cancer. 4. Endometrial cancer. 5. Esophageal, adenocarcinoma only. 6. Gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). 7. Non-squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, e.g., salivary gland neoplasms, with the exception of adenoid cystic carcinoma. 8. Non-small cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma only. 9. Ovarian. 4. Refractory disease, intolerance to, or documented refusal of available standard therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit for the participant's solid tumor malignancy per Investigator judgment. 5. At least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1 except for participants with bone-only metastatic disease. 6. Biopsy pretreatment; if not possible, archival tissue block (preferred) or unstained formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded slides required. 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0-1. 8.

Known symptomatic brain metastases. 3. Significant cardiovascular disease within 6 months prior to starting study drug. 4. Evidence of an active systemic bacterial, fungal, or viral infection requiring treatment. 5. Grade ≥ 2 peripheral neuropathy. 6. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to starting study drug. 7. Prior solid organ or bone marrow progenitor cell transplantation. 8. Prior high-dose chemotherapy requiring stem cell rescue. 9. Anticancer therapy within 28 days or within 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to starting study drug. 10. Palliative radiation therapy within 14 days prior to starting study drug. 11. Live vaccine within 28 days prior to starting study drug. 12. Pregnant or a breastfeeding postpartum female.
