NCT ID NCT06658353
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial is testing an experimental drug called VC004 in people aged 12 and older with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see whether VC004 capsules can shrink tumors and control the disease. All participants receive the drug, and researchers will measure how many people respond to treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an experimental drug called VC004, taken as capsules twice daily
- What this could lead to
- If it works, VC004 could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 54 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
