What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

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.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This early-phase study tests a daily oral drug called CGT4255 in 100 adults with advanced solid tumors that have ERBB2 genetic changes or HER2 overexpression. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the drug shrinks tumors, including in the brain. The trial includes people with certain lung and breast cancers that have spread to the brain.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
CGT4255 (a daily oral drug that targets ERBB2 and HER2)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that have specific genetic changes, including some lung and breast cancers that have spread to the brain.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 100 participants, so the drug may not prove safe or effective. Side effects are unknown, and it may not work for all tumor types.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Have histologically confirmed diagnosis of: 1. Part A: Locally advanced, metastatic, and/or unresectable solid tumor with documented ERBB2-activating alteration or NRG1 gene fusion in blood and/or tumor or HER2 overexpression in tumor 2. Part B: Locally advanced, metastatic, and/or unresectable NSCLC with documented ERBB2 mutation in blood and/or tumor 3. Part C: Locally advanced, metastatic and/or unresectable breast cancer with documented ERBB2 mutation in blood and/or tumor or HER overexpression in tumor 2. Have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 to 1 for Part A. For Parts B and C, ECOG Performance Status must be 0 to 2. 4. Have clinically acceptable local laboratory screening results (clinical chemistry and hematology) within certain limits. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Received small molecule chemotherapy or anticancer therapies or radiotherapy within certain timeframes before first dose of study drug. 2. Major surgeries (eg, craniotomy and thoracotomy) within 4 weeks of the first dose of study drug. 3. Treatment with palliative focal radiotherapy (cranial or extracranial) (eg, stereotactic radiosurgery or intensity-modulated radiation therapy) ≤2 weeks before the first dose of study drug; treatment with whole-brain radiotherapy ≤4 weeks before the first dose of study drug. 4. Clinically significant cardiac disease. 5. Resolution of toxicities from prior therapy to ≤Grade 1 (or baseline), including resolution of clinically significant laboratory abnormalities, before the first dose of study drug. 6.
