First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 42 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called DCC-3116 (inlexisertib) in 91 people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have RAS/MAPK pathway mutations. The drug was given alone or combined with other targeted therapies. The study aimed to find safe doses and check for side effects, but it was terminated early. It is unclear if the drug will move forward.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

DCC-3116 (inlexisertib) taken as a pill, alone or with other targeted drugs (trametinib, binimetinib, or sotorasib)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific genetic mutations.

What could go wrong

This was a very early (phase 1/2) trial that was terminated, meaning it stopped early. It involved only 91 participants, so results may not apply widely, and side effects are unknown.

Conditions
