New pill shows promise against Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT05585320
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental oral drug called IMM-1-104, which blocks certain cancer-driving proteins. It is given alone or with standard chemotherapy to people with advanced solid tumors that have RAS mutations, including pancreatic, melanoma, and lung cancers. The trial aims to find the safest dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors. About 209 adults are participating across multiple centers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- IMM-1-104 (an oral MEK1/2 inhibitor), given alone or with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new oral treatment option for people with certain advanced cancers that have RAS mutations, potentially shrinking tumors or slowing their growth.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2a) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe enough for wider use. Side effects from the drug or chemotherapy are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Must be ≥18 years of age * Must have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis as follows: 1. Monotherapy Phase 1: A locally advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancy that harbors a RAS (KRAS, NRAS, or HRAS) activating mutation. 2. Monotherapy Phase 2a: A locally advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancies: pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), RAS-mutant melanoma, or RAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) 3. Combination therapy (both phases): A locally advanced unresectable or metastatic PDAC 4. Combination therapy Phase 2a, Treatment D: Second and third line participants with unresectable stage III or stage IV cutaneous melanoma with BRAF mutation. Must have progressed on or after treatment with an anti-PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody as the most recent therapy. First day of study treatment must be more than 28 days but less than 12 weeks from the last dose of anti-PD-(L)1 mAb. 5. Combination therapy Phase 2a, Treatment E: Second and third line participants with unresectable stage III or stage IV cutaneous melanoma. Must have progressed on or after treatment with an anti-PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibody as the most recent therapy. First day of study treatment must be more than 28 days but less than 12 weeks from the last dose of anti-PD-(L)1 mAb. * Participants must be treatment naive or received prior systemic standard-of-care treatment as follows: 1. Monotherapy Phase 1: received at least 1 line of systemic standard-of-care treatment for their advanced or metastatic disease 2. Monotherapy Phase 2a: 1. First-line PDAC participants will have received no previous systemic anti-cancer therapy. Second-line PDAC participants will have received no more than one prior systemic anti-cancer therapy. 2. First-line melanoma participants will have received no previous systemic anti-cancer therapy. Second- and third-line participants will have received and failed one or two prior systemic anti-cancer therapies, respectively. 3. NSCLC participants will have received at least one and no more than two previous lines of systemic therapy. 3. Combination therapy (both phases): PDAC participants will have received no previous systemic anti-cancer therapy for their advanced or metastatic disease. * Must have evidence of measurable disease (at least one target lesion) per RECIST v1.1 criteria * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 * Adequate organ function Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to swallow oral medications * Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing known central nervous system (CNS) metastases * History or concurrent evidence of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or current risk factors for RVO. History of serous retinopathy, retinal edema, or retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) * Impaired cardiovascular function or clinically significant cardiac disease * History of rhabdomyolysis within 3 months prior to start of study treatment * Active skin disorder requiring systemic treatment within 3 months prior to the start of study treatment * Participants with active, uncontrolled autoimmune disease or participants actively being treated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors for management of their autoimmune disease are excluded * Receipt of an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant * Females who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant and males who plan to father a child while enrolled in this study.
