Is NCT04429542 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 1 trial studies multiple treatments including BCA101 and Pembrolizumab for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Phase 1RecruitingBicara TherapeuticsNCT04429542Data as of Jun 2026Location: United States · Australia · Canada

Treatment: BCA101 · PembrolizumabThe investigational drug to be studied in this protocol, BCA101, is a first-in-class compound that targets both EGFR with TGFβ. Based on preclinical data, this bifunctional antibody may exert synergistic activity in patients with EGFR-driven tumors.
