TER-2013 for advanced solid tumors with AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway changes

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Trial of TER-2013 in Patients With Solid Tumors Harboring AKT/PI3K/PTEN Pathway Alterations

Run by Terremoto Biosciences Inc. · NCT07109726 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether TER-2013, alone or with fulvestrant, is safe and can help people with advanced breast, ovarian, endometrial, lung, or head-and-neck cancers that have AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway alterations.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors harboring eligible AKT/PI3K/PTEN alterations, measurable disease, ECOG 0–1, and adequate organ function who have no available curative treatment options.

Probably not a fit

Patients without AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway alterations, those with poor performance status (ECOG >1), inadequate organ function, or who have effective curative treatment options are unlikely to benefit from this trial.

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 Phase 1/2 study gives TER-2013 as a monotherapy and in combination with fulvestrant to patients whose advanced solid tumors harbor AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway alterations. Part 1 uses dose escalation to identify the maximum tolerated or recommended dose and to characterize safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics. Part 2 expands selected cohorts to look for preliminary anti-tumor activity in specific tumor types. Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease, adequate organ function, and an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, with enrollment at multiple US cancer centers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, TER-2013 could offer a new targeted treatment option for patients whose tumors have AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway alterations.

How similar studies have gone: Other drugs targeting the PI3K/AKT pathway have shown benefit in selected cancers (for example, PI3K inhibitors in PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer), but TER-2013 is a first-in-human agent and its effects are not yet known.

* Clinically significant abnormalities of glucose metabolism
* Active brain metastases or carcinomatous meningitis.
* History of significant hemoptysis or hemorrhage within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study drug
* Malabsorption syndrome, nausea and vomiting uncontrolled by medication, or disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function likely to interfere with the delivery, absorption, or metabolism of TER-2013
* Prior therapy:

  1. \[For TER-2013 monotherapy escalation\]: AKT inhibitor
  2. \[For TER-2013 monotherapy expansion\]: AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway inhibitor
  3. \[For TER-2013 + fulvestrant combination expansion\]: AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway inhibitor, fulvestrant and other SERDs, mTOR inhibitor; some PIK3CA-altered cohorts allow prior PI3K inhibitor.
