Investigating KQB198 for treating advanced solid tumors

A Phase 1/1b, Open-label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of KQB198 as Monotherapy and in Combination With Anti-cancer Agents in Participants With Advanced Solid Malignancies

Phase 1 Interventional Kumquat Biosciences Inc. · NCT06507306

This study is testing a new drug called KQB198 to see if it can safely help adults with advanced solid tumors when used alone or with other cancer treatments.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KQB198, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with other anti-cancer drugs, for adults with advanced solid tumors. Participants will receive KQB198 daily and will undergo regular clinic visits to monitor their health and response to the treatment. The study will assess the safe dosage of KQB198, its effectiveness in reducing tumor size, and how the drug behaves in the body.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults with advanced solid tumors harboring specific oncogenic mutations or those with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed on previous treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with prior therapy using a similar mechanism to KQB198 or those with certain gastrointestinal or cardiac conditions 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 who have limited treatment alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel, similar studies targeting specific mutations in solid tumors have shown promise in the past.
