New pill targets Hard-to-Treat KRAS cancers in first human trial

NCT ID NCT07458347

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing an experimental oral drug called KST-6051 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a KRAS mutation, including certain lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and how the body processes it. About 145 participants will take the pill by mouth, and researchers will also look for any signs that the drug is shrinking tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

KST-6051 (an oral tablet)

What this could lead to

If this drug is safe and shows signs of shrinking tumors, it could point toward a new treatment option for people with KRAS-mutant cancers like lung, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) trial focused on safety, not effectiveness. The drug may not work or could cause serious side effects. Only a small number of people will receive it at first.
