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

Researchers are testing an experimental oral drug called RVU120 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have worsened after standard treatments. The trial has two parts: first, they check safety and find the best dose; second, they measure how well the drug shrinks tumors and how long responses last. Participants take RVU120 every other day in three-week cycles, and an alternative daily schedule is also being studied.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
RVU120, an experimental oral drug
What this could lead to
If RVU120 works, it could offer a new oral option for people whose advanced solid tumors have stopped responding to standard treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with 66 participants, so researchers do not yet know if RVU120 helps or causes serious side effects. Many experimental cancer drugs fail in early testing.

For patients in Part 2 of study, baseline tumor biopsy samples from progressive disease lesions, where feasible, are required; 13. For women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), a negative pregnancy test must be confirmed before enrolment. WOCBP must commit to using highly effective contraception during study participation and until 6 months after the last dose of study drug. Females must also refrain from donating blood or egg (ovum) during the same time-period; 14. For males, an effective barrier method of contraception must be used during study participation until 6 months after the last dose of study drug, if the patient is sexually active with a WOCBP.
