New pill targets KRAS cancers in early human trial
NCT ID NCT06835569
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-phase trial tests an oral drug called ALTA3263 in about 448 adults with advanced solid tumors (like pancreatic, lung, or colorectal cancer) that have a KRAS mutation. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see how the body processes the drug. Participants have already tried other treatments without success.
