Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new drug, BAY 3771249, that targets a specific cancer-driving mutation called KRAS G12D. It is for people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer who have this mutation and have tried other treatments. The drug is given alone or with another cancer drug, cetuximab. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if it can shrink tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
BAY 3771249 (a drug that blocks the mutated KRAS G12D protein) and cetuximab (a cancer drug given by IV)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new targeted treatment option for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific KRAS G12D mutation, especially those who have run out of other options.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1 trial, so the drug may not prove safe or effective. Side effects are unknown, and the mutation is rare, so results may not apply to all patients.
