New drug targets KRAS mutations in advanced cancers
NCT ID NCT07094204
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new drug called ASP5834 in people with advanced solid tumors that have certain changes in the KRAS gene. The study will first find a safe dose of ASP5834 given alone or with another drug (panitumumab) in people with colorectal cancer. Up to 364 adults with lung, pancreatic, colorectal, or other solid tumors that haven't responded to standard treatment may participate. The main focus is on safety and tolerability, not yet on curing the cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ASP5834 (a drug targeting KRAS mutations) and panitumumab (a colorectal cancer drug)
- What this could lead to
- If this trial succeeds, it could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific KRAS mutations, especially those who haven't responded to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) study testing ASP5834 in humans for the first time. The main goal is safety and dosing, not yet effectiveness. Many early-stage drugs do not advance to later trials.
