NCT ID NCT04683250

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new drug called TAS0953/HM06 in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific RET gene abnormalities. The trial has two parts: Phase 1 finds the safest dose, and Phase 2 checks how well the drug shrinks tumors. About 244 adults with RET-altered non-small cell lung cancer or other solid tumors will take the drug orally twice a day in 21-day cycles.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

TAS0953/HM06 (a targeted drug that blocks the RET protein to slow or stop cancer growth)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that have specific RET gene changes, potentially shrinking tumors or slowing disease progression.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not work as hoped or could cause unexpected side effects. Results may not apply to all patients with RET alterations.
