Experimental pill aims to starve advanced cancers by cutting off their fuel supply

NCT ID NCT03872427

Summary

This trial is testing whether a pill called telaglenastat can slow or stop the growth of advanced solid tumors that have specific genetic mutations. The drug works by blocking a key nutrient (glutamine) that some cancer cells need to grow. The study is for adults with metastatic or inoperable cancers who have mutations in genes like NF1, KEAP1/NRF2, or STK11/LKB1 and have run out of standard treatment options.
