A pill aimed at Hard-to-Treat cancers: scientists test YF087 in tumors with broken DNA repair
NCT ID NCT07809607
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing an experimental daily pill called YF087 in adults with advanced solid tumors that have a genetic feature called MSI-H or dMMR. These tumors often stop responding to standard immunotherapy, so new options are needed. The phase 1 trial aims to find a safe dose, check for side effects, and see how the body processes the drug. About 70 participants will take YF087 once a day, and doctors will track tumor response and survival.
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 oral drug called YF087
- What this could lead to
- If YF087 proves safe and shows signs of shrinking these tumors, it could become a new oral option for cancers with MSI-H or dMMR features that have stopped responding to standard immunotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a first-in-human phase 1 trial with about 70 participants, so its main goal is checking safety and finding a dose, not proving the drug works. Many experimental cancer drugs fail at this stage, and YF087 may cause side effects or show too little benefit to move forward.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects with locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumors; * dMMR/MSI-H status demonstrated in tumor tissue, blood, or other samples containing cancer cells or DNA; * Subjects must have experienced disease progression after the most recent therapy for advanced disease (prior therapy must include at least one PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor treatment). * Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion that can be measured by CT or MRI based on RECIST V1.1 criteria; * ECOG≤1 Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with a WRN inhibitor such as HRO760, RO7589831, GSK4418959 and NDI-219216; * Prior to the first dose of study intervention, receipt of any anticancer treatment (including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc.) or any other investigational medicinal product within 14 days or 3 half-lives (whichever is shorter); * Subjects with unstable or symptomatic or progressive central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis and/or brainstem metastases and/or spinal cord compression; * Subjects with clinically significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease * Subjects with concomitant medical conditions that the investigator believes may increase the risk of toxicity, such as serious cardiovascular, respiratory or neurological diseases; * Use of, or planned use of, any of the following medications that has not been discontinued for at least 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) before the first study drug administration: 1. Strong CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors; 2. Drugs known to prolong the QT interval. * Pregnant or lactating females;
