NCT ID NCT06462183

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental oral drug called RGT-61159 in about 105 people with two types of cancer that have come back or stopped responding to treatment: adenoid cystic carcinoma (a rare salivary gland cancer) and colorectal cancer. The main goals are to check the drug's safety, find the right dose, and see if it can shrink tumors. Participants must have measurable disease that has progressed after prior therapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

RGT-61159 (an oral MYB inhibitor)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma or colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 105 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not shrink tumors or may cause side effects. Success is far from guaranteed.
