Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and documented KRAS/NRAS/HRAS mutations who have progressed on available standard therapies, with ECOG performance status 0–1 and estimated life expectancy ≥12 weeks.

Probably not a fit

Patients without confirmed RAS mutations, with poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), very limited life expectancy, or who cannot attend frequent clinic visits are unlikely to gain 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 first-in-human, open-label, multicenter Phase 1 study gives adults with advanced or metastatic RAS-mutant solid tumors daily oral AN9025 to define safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Part 1 uses a multiple-ascending dose escalation with dose-limiting toxicity monitoring to identify the maximum tolerated dose or recommended dose for expansion, including single-dose lead-ins and back-fill cohorts. Part 2 uses a single-sequence crossover to evaluate the effect of food on AN9025 pharmacokinetics, and Part 3 expands selected dose cohorts to explore activity in specific tumor types. The study includes frequent early clinic visits for blood draws, PK sampling, and tumor biopsy and is being conducted at sites in the United States and China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, AN9025 could provide a new oral targeted treatment option that slows tumor growth in patients with RAS-mutant cancers.

How similar studies have gone: KRAS G12C-specific inhibitors have shown clinical benefit, but broadly acting oral pan‑RAS inhibitors like AN9025 are largely novel and have limited prior clinical data.
