Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called PAS-004 in people with advanced solid tumors that have certain gene mutations (RAS, NF1, or RAF). The main goal is to see how safe the drug is and what side effects it causes. About 48 participants will take the drug by mouth daily for up to 2 years, with regular check-ups to monitor their health.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific genetic mutations.
