DEG6498 for people with advanced solid tumors
Official title: A First in Human Phase 1 Open-Label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of DEG6498 in Patients With Solid Tumors
Run by Degron Therapeutics Co. · NCT07244835 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This Phase 1 study will try once-daily oral DEG6498 in adults with advanced solid tumors, including BRAF-mutant cancers and liver cancer, who have no standard treatment to see if it is safe and shows signs of anti-tumor activity.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older with advanced solid tumors who have exhausted standard therapies or have no available standard treatment, and who meet the study's safety and contraception requirements, are the intended candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage or readily treatable cancers, those who can receive effective standard therapies, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or those unable to take oral medication are unlikely to benefit from this trial.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a first-in-human, multi-center, open-label Phase 1 trial with two parts: a dose-escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose, followed by a dose-expansion phase focusing on BRAF-mutant tumors and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Participants will take DEG6498 orally once a day and undergo regular safety monitoring, blood sampling for pharmacokinetics (PK), and tumor assessments. The study will record adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, and any tumor responses to characterize safety and preliminary efficacy. Data from both parts will guide dose selection and further clinical development.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, DEG6498 could become a new oral treatment option that controls tumor growth for patients with BRAF-mutant cancers or hepatocellular carcinoma who lack effective standard therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Other targeted oral agents have shown benefit in some BRAF-mutant tumors and select liver cancers, but DEG6498 is a first-in-human agent and its safety and efficacy are not yet proven.
