Experimental KRAS blocker tested in advanced cancers – trial halted early

NCT ID NCT06599502

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new oral drug, AZD0022, designed to block the KRASG12D mutation found in some advanced cancers like lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer. The study aimed to see if the drug was safe and tolerable when given alone or with another cancer drug (cetuximab). Only 17 people took part before the trial was stopped early, so we have limited information on how well it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AZD0022 (a drug that blocks the KRASG12D mutation) and cetuximab (a targeted antibody)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for cancers with the KRASG12D mutation, like some lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers.

What could go wrong

This was a very early (phase I/IIa) trial that was terminated early with only 17 participants, so results are limited. The drug may not prove effective or safe in larger studies.
