ST-01156, a drug that degrades RBM39, for advanced solid cancers

Official title: A Phase 1/1B Study of ST-01156, a Small Molecule RBM39 Degrader, in Patients With Advanced Solid Malignancies

Run by SEED Therapeutics, Inc. · NCT07197554 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will test whether ST-01156 is safe and shows early anti-cancer activity in adults (and some teens with Ewing sarcoma) who have advanced or metastatic solid tumors like liver, biliary tract, or Ewing sarcoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults (≥18 years) or adolescents ≥16 with Ewing sarcoma, unresectable or metastatic solid tumors, measurable disease, ECOG ≤2, and adequate organ function who have completed required washout from prior therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active untreated brain metastases, recent radiotherapy or recent systemic anticancer therapy, poor organ function, or tumors without a biological rationale for RBM39 targeting are less likely to benefit.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1/1b, open-label, multicenter dose-escalation study gives participants ST-01156, a small-molecule degrader of RBM39, to determine safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and early anticancer activity. Part 1 uses a dose-escalation design to identify the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended Phase 2 dose. Participants must have measurable or evaluable advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors and meet organ function and performance-status requirements. The protocol includes screening, regular safety and imaging assessments, and pharmacokinetic sampling at planned timepoints.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, ST-01156 could become a new treatment option for patients whose tumors depend on RBM39, offering tumor control where other therapies have failed.

How similar studies have gone: RBM39-directed degradation is an emerging and relatively novel approach: related molecular-glue degraders have shown early signals in cancer but RBM39-specific clinical efficacy remains largely unproven.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥ 18 years on the day of signing the consent form, except for adolescents with Ewing Sarcoma or other malignancies for which there is a biological rationale to support participation, in which case the participant is ≥ 16 years old.
* Has a metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable solid tumor.
* Has at least 1 measurable lesion or evaluable disease per RECIST v1.1.
* Has an ECOG performance status ≤ 2 at screening.
* Has adequate organ function as defined in the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of treatment.
* Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate, provided they are radiologically stable
* Has received treatment with any local or systemic anticancer therapy or investigational anticancer agent within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter.
* Had major surgery within 28 days before study therapy administration
* Has toxicities from previous anticancer therapies that have not resolved to baseline levels, with the exception of alopecia and peripheral neuropathy.
* Has previously received a RBM39 inhibitor/degrader.
