Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether daraxonrasib, an oral drug that targets cancers with a KRAS mutation, can shrink tumors in people with advanced biliary tract cancer that has progressed after first-line treatment. Participants take the drug once daily in 28-day cycles. The main goal is to see how many people respond, with overall survival as a secondary measure.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
daraxonrasib (RMC-6236), an oral drug taken once daily
What this could lead to
If it works, daraxonrasib could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced biliary tract cancer whose tumors carry a KRAS mutation and who have already tried one line of therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial with a modest number of participants, so the drug may not shrink tumors in enough people to move forward. Side effects from the drug could also limit its use.
