What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effectiveness of HEC169096 in patients with advanced solid tumors, including specific types of lung and thyroid cancers. It consists of a Phase I dose-escalation and dose-expansion phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D), followed by a Phase II assessment of efficacy and safety at the RP2D. The study is open-label and multi-center, allowing for a diverse patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with pathologically documented, non-resectable advanced solid tumors that have oncogenic RET-rearrangements or mutations.

Not a fit: Patients whose cancer has a known primary driver alteration other than RET may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors harboring RET alterations.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies targeting RET alterations in solid tumors have shown promise, indicating potential for success with this approach.
