New drug TUB-030 targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT06657222
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests a new drug called TUB-030 in adults with advanced solid tumors, including head and neck, lung, and breast cancers. The goal is to find the safest and most effective dose. Participants receive the drug every three weeks and are monitored for side effects and tumor response.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TUB-030 (an antibody-drug conjugate targeting 5T4 protein)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for several advanced solid cancers that are hard to treat.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2a) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or may have unexpected side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding female aged 18 years or older 2. Adequate organ function 3. Patients who received anti-cancer treatment including chemotherapy, biological therapy, endocrine therapy, PARP inhibitor, or other oral or investigational drugs must have had their last dose at least 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosourea, mitomycin-C) or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, before C1D1 4. AEs related to prior therapy, radiotherapy or surgical procedures must resolve to ≤grade 1. 5. For patients with known brain metastases, evidence of clinically stable disease post radiation therapy is required prior to enrollment. 6. For patients who underwent radiotherapy (≥ 30% of the bone marrow or wide field) to sites outside the brain, the final dose of radiation must have been administered ≥ 28 days prior to C1D1. For patients who underwent palliative radiotherapy (≤ 30% of the bone marrow or wide field) the final dose of radiation must have been administered ≥14 days prior to C1D1. 7. Radiologically measurable disease by RECIST v1.1, 4 weeks before C1D1, that can include a lesion in an irradiated field that shows progression according to RECIST v1.1 after irradiation. 8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1. 9. Have a life expectancy of \>12 weeks for disease-related mortality, as evaluated by the INV. 10. In the opinion of the INV, the patient must be able and willing to understand and give signed informed consent 11. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who are sexually active with a non-sterilized partner must use at least 1 highly effective method of contraception (with a failure rate of 1% per year) from the time of screening and must agree to continue using such precautions until the end of exposure, plus 5 half-lives and 6 months add-on in the case of patients of childbearing potential Patients must agree to continue a highly effective contraceptive method, refrain from egg cell donation and breastfeeding while on study treatment and for 5 half-lives plus 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. 12. Males must use an effective barrier method of contraception without interruption if the patient is sexually active with an WOCBP until the end of exposure, 5 half-lives plus 6 months add-on after the end of treatment. In addition, their female partners who are WOCBP should agree to use 1 highly effective barrier method of contraception at the same time.
