What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called ICP-723 in people with advanced solid tumors or primary central nervous system tumors that have a specific genetic change called NTRK fusion. The drug is taken as a tablet once daily. The main goal is to see how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear. About 70 participants will be enrolled at multiple centers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ICP-723 (a tablet taken by mouth once daily in 28-day cycles)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with certain hard-to-treat cancers that have a specific genetic change (NTRK fusion).
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not shrink tumors or could cause side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1; 2. Patients with advanced solid tumors or primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors harboring NTRK gene fusions as detected by the designated central laboratory, who received no previous NTRK inhibitor treatment; 3. At least one measurable lesion as per RECIST1.1 criteria, or for primary CNS tumors, at least one measurable lesion as per RANO or INRC criteria. 4. Organ functions meet the clinical criteria Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with unstable primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors or CNS metastasis. 2. Patients with abnormal QTc interval at screening, or other clinically significant abnormalities in electrocardiographic examination at the discretion of the investigator. 3. Patient with recent anti-tumor and other treatment as stated in the protocol. 4. Grade 1 or higher toxicities attributed to any previous treatment not yet recovered. 5. Other conditions considered unsuitable for participation in this trial at the discretion of the investigator
