Phase 1 dose-escalation of oral KST-6051 for adults with KRAS‑mutant advanced solid tumors

Official title: A First-in-human Phase 1 Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Preliminary Efficacy of KST-6051 in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors With a KRAS Mutation

Run by Kestrel Therapeutics, Inc. · NCT07458347 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will give oral KST-6051 to adults with advanced KRAS‑mutant solid tumors to see if it is safe, tolerable, and how the body processes the drug.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic KRAS‑mutant solid tumors, ECOG 0–1, measurable disease, adequate organ function, and disease progression after or intolerance to standard treatments are the intended candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with prior RAS/KRAS inhibitor therapy, active central nervous system metastases, inability to take oral medication, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding are unlikely to benefit from participation.

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 trial uses a dose-escalation design to find safe and tolerable dose levels of orally administered KST-6051. Adults with advanced or metastatic KRAS‑mutant solid tumors (including NSCLC, PDAC, and CRC) whose disease progressed after or who cannot tolerate standard therapies are eligible. The study will collect safety data, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and biomarker information while monitoring tumor response. Participants who benefit and can tolerate treatment may continue on study therapy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, KST-6051 could provide a new oral treatment option for patients with KRAS‑mutant advanced solid tumors who have limited approved therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Some KRAS‑targeted drugs (for example, agents targeting KRAS G12C) have shown clinical activity for specific mutations, but KST-6051 is a first‑in‑human agent and its effectiveness in people is not yet known.
