Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced solid tumors that are refractory to or have progressed after standard therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients currently receiving cancer therapy or those with significant comorbidities affecting major organ systems may not 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 clinical trial evaluates RSC-1255, an oral small-molecule inhibitor targeting RAS mutations, in adults with advanced solid tumors who have not responded to existing therapies. The trial consists of two phases: Phase 1a focuses on determining the maximum tolerated dose, while Phase 1b aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the drug. Approximately 134 participants will receive RSC-1255 twice daily as monotherapy. The study is open-label and multi-center, allowing for a diverse participant pool.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new option for patients with advanced malignancies who have limited therapeutic alternatives.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in its specific targeting of RAS mutations, similar studies targeting advanced malignancies have shown promise in the past.
