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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This trial tests an experimental oral drug called ORIC-114 in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes in the EGFR or HER2 genes. The study has two parts: first, finding a safe and effective dose, and second, seeing how well the drug works alone or with chemotherapy. Participants receive ORIC-114 daily, and some also get carboplatin and pemetrexed for up to four cycles. The goal is to measure safety, how the drug moves through the body, and whether it shrinks tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ORIC-114, an oral drug taken daily, sometimes combined with chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and pemetrexed
What this could lead to
If it works, ORIC-114 could offer a new targeted treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that carry certain EGFR or HER2 mutations, potentially slowing or shrinking their cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial, so the drug may not work as hoped or may cause side effects. The results will help determine the right dose and whether further testing is warranted.
Why investors are watching

ORIC Pharmaceuticals is testing ORIC-114, its lead drug candidate, in patients with advanced solid tumors that have EGFR or HER2 alterations. The trial aims to find the right dose and measure safety and anti-tumor activity, both alone and with chemotherapy. For a small company, this readout is a major test of whether its drug works and can support further development.

If it works: A positive result could show that ORIC-114 controls disease in a defined patient group, which may strengthen the company's position and support advancing the drug to later-stage trials. It could also validate the drug's potential as a treatment option for these tumor types.

If it fails: A failure or delay could set back the company's pipeline and hurt its prospects, since ORIC-114 appears to be a central asset. Trials often fail to meet their goals, so a negative outcome is a real possibility.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor with a documented EGFR or HER2 exon 20 insertion mutation or atypical EGFR mutation as determined by any nucleic acid-based diagnostic testing method, or HER2 amplification/overexpression as determined by an immunohistochemistry (IHC) or an in situ hybridization (ISH) test 1. Part I Dose Escalation (CLOSED) Any solid tumor with * EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation * HER2 exon 20 insertion mutation * Atypical EGFR mutations (NSCLC only) (Appendix 8) * HER2 amplification or overexpression (HER2+) * Previously received and progressed on or after available standard therapies and for whom additional standard therapy is considered unsuitable or intolerable 2. Part I Extension (ONGOING) * Cohort IA: Patients with HER2+ breast cancer previously received and progressed on or after available standard therapies and for whom additional standard therapy is considered unsuitable or intolerable * Cohort IB: NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation previously treated with chemotherapy and amivantamab * Cohort IC: Treatment-naïve NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation * Cohort ID: Treatment-naïve NSCLC patients with EGFR atypical mutations 3. Part II Dose Optimization (ONGOING): NSCLC patients with * Cohort IIA: EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation, patients must have received platinum-based chemotherapy or other chemotherapy regimen if platinum- based chemotherapy was contraindicated. Additionally, patients must be naïve to an EGFR exon 20 targeted agent, ie, must have declined or be ineligible for all available exon 20 targeted therapies with proven benefit * Cohort IIB: HER2 exon 20 insertion mutation, patients must have received platinum-based chemotherapy or other chemotherapy regimen if platinum- based chemotherapy was contraindicated.
