Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who have relapsed or progressed after treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage breast cancer or those who have not received prior treatment for their advanced disease may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of TYK-00540, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with fulvestrant, for patients with advanced solid tumors, particularly HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It is an open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation and expansion study that aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose and assess the pharmacokinetics of the drug. The trial includes patients who have not responded to standard treatments or have no available options left.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced breast cancer who have limited treatment alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches in targeting advanced solid tumors, but the specific use of TYK-00540 is novel.
