Treatment of advanced cancers with RSC-1255
Official title: A Phase Ia/Ib, Open Label, Multi-center, Non-randomized Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study of RSC-1255 Alone or in Combination With Hydroxychloroquine in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies
Run by RasCal Therapeutics, Inc. · NCT04678648 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new oral drug called RSC-1255 to see if it can help adults with advanced cancers that haven't responded to other treatments.

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.

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.
