New pill targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in early human trial
NCT ID NCT07542704
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase study tests an experimental oral drug called KQB368 in 48 adults with advanced solid tumors (like lung, colorectal, or uterine cancer) that have a specific KRAS mutation (G12C or G12S). The main goals are to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors. Participants take the drug daily in 21-day cycles and visit the clinic regularly for monitoring.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KQB368 (oral drug)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with certain KRAS-mutated cancers that have stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 48 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. It is too soon to know if KQB368 will shrink tumors or help patients feel better.
