New drug combo targets tough cancers with RAS mutation

NCT ID NCT05907304

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, naporafenib and trametinib, can shrink or control advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic change called RAS Q61X. About 86 people whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments will receive the drugs. The main goals are to see if the combination is safe and whether it can shrink tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

naporafenib (a Pan-Raf inhibitor) combined with trametinib (a MEK inhibitor)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with certain hard-to-treat cancers that have a RAS Q61X mutation.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 86 participants, so it is not yet known if the combination is safe or effective. Many early-stage cancer drugs do not succeed in later trials.
