New drug targets Hard-to-Treat cancer mutation in first human trial
NCT ID NCT07023731
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called ARV-806 in adults with advanced solid tumors that have a specific KRAS G12D mutation. The drug aims to break down the mutated protein that helps tumors grow. The trial has two parts: first, finding a safe dose in small groups, then testing that dose in people with advanced pancreatic cancer. About 159 participants will receive the drug intravenously.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ARV-806 (a drug that breaks down a specific mutated protein in cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced cancers with a specific KRAS mutation, especially pancreatic cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is the first time ARV-806 is tested in humans, so safety and effectiveness are unknown. The trial is small and early-stage, so results may not lead to a widely available treatment.
Why investors are watching
Arvinas runs this first-in-human trial of ARV-806, an intravenous drug that breaks down a mutated KRAS protein in advanced solid tumors. The study tests safety and dosing in Part A, then tests up to two doses in pancreatic cancer in Part B. For a small company, this readout matters because it is the first human data on the drug and shapes whether the program moves forward.
If it works: If ARV-806 proves safe and shows signs of slowing tumor growth, Arvinas could advance the program into larger studies and attract partners or additional funding.
If it fails: First-in-human trials often fail on safety or show no anti-tumor activity, and any such result would set back or end the ARV-806 program for a small company with limited resources.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Part A: * Histological or cytological diagnosis of unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancy, AND * Must have evidence of KRAS G12D mutation in tumor tissue or blood (circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid \[ctDNA\]), AND * Must have received prior standard-of-care (SOC) therapy appropriate for their type and stage of disease and have no other available treatment options with curative intent, or, in the opinion of the investigator, would be unlikely to tolerate or derive clinically meaningful benefit from appropriate SOC therapy, AND * Must have at least 1 measurable lesion Part B: * Histological or cytological diagnosis of unresectable or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with KRAS G12D mutation status confirmed by local testing of tumor tissue using a validated molecular or next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing, AND * Must be willing to provide archival tumor tissue or willing to undergo pretreatment biopsy, AND * Must have received at least one prior standard of care systemic therapy for PDAC (systemic therapy received in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting is allowed), AND * Participants must have at least 1 measurable lesion Part A / Part B: * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, * Participants with adequate organ function, * Participants must accept and follow pregnancy prevention guidance. Exclusion Criteria: Part A / Part B: * Active brain metastases * Carcinomatous meningitis * Uncontrolled hypertension despite optimal medical therapy * Prior treatment with a KRAS G12D or a KRAS G12C targeting therapy (pan-KRAS inhibitor/degrader included) * Participants with an inability to comply with listed prohibited treatments * Systemic anticancer therapy within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) or radiation therapy (excluding palliative radiation) within 2 weeks prior to the study intervention treatment. If the last immediate anticancer treatment contained an antibody-based agent(s), then an interval of 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of the agent(s) is required prior to receiving the study intervention treatment. * Standard 12-lead electrocardiogram that demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or interpretation of study results
