Targeted radiation zaps Hard-to-Treat cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT06376253
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug, [177Lu]Lu-EVS459, that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells in people with advanced ovarian or lung cancers. The study aims to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable, and to get an early look at whether it can shrink tumors. Participants must have already tried at least one other treatment without success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- [177Lu]Lu-EVS459
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new targeted treatment option for people with advanced ovarian or lung cancers that have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 4 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet established. The treatment involves radiation and may cause side effects.
