NCT ID NCT05954871

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase study tested an experimental drug called GDC-1971 combined with either osimertinib (for lung cancer) or cetuximab (for colorectal cancer) in 10 people with advanced cancers that had spread. The main goal was to check safety and find the right dose. Researchers also looked at how the drug moves through the body and whether tumors shrank.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

GDC-1971 (an experimental drug) combined with either osimertinib or cetuximab

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced lung or colorectal cancer who have not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small Phase 1 trial with only 10 participants, focused on safety and dosing. It is not designed to prove effectiveness, and many early-stage drugs do not advance.
