New drug targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in early trial
NCT ID NCT05485974
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called HBI-2438 in people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, colorectal, or pancreatic cancer) that have a specific genetic change called KRAS G12C. The main goals are to find the safest dose and understand how the drug moves through the body. About 44 adults who have tried other treatments without success are taking part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HBI-2438 (a KRAS G12C inhibitor)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with certain cancers that have a specific genetic mutation (KRAS G12C).
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 44 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. It is too soon to know if the drug will shrink tumors or improve survival.
