Summary

This study tests a new oral drug called HEC169096 in people with advanced solid tumors, including thyroid cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, that have a specific RET gene change. The trial has two phases: the first finds the safest dose, and the second checks how well the drug shrinks tumors. About 456 participants will take part across multiple centers.
