First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests an experimental oral drug called IMM-1-104, which blocks certain cancer-driving proteins. It is given alone or with standard chemotherapy to people with advanced solid tumors that have RAS mutations, including pancreatic, melanoma, and lung cancers. The trial aims to find the safest dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors. About 209 adults are participating across 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

IMM-1-104 (an oral MEK1/2 inhibitor), given alone or with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new oral treatment option for people with certain advanced cancers that have RAS mutations, potentially shrinking tumors or slowing their growth.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2a) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe enough for wider use. Side effects from the drug or chemotherapy are possible.
