New hope for advanced breast cancer: first human trial of MEN2312 begins
NCT ID NCT06638307
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called MEN2312, alone or with another drug (elacestrant), in 240 adults with advanced breast cancer that has specific genetic changes. The main goals are to find a safe dose and check for side effects. It is the first time MEN2312 is being tested in humans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MEN2312 (a KAT6 inhibitor) and elacestrant
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced breast cancer with specific genetic changes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial, so safety and dosing are still being tested. It may not lead to an effective treatment, and side effects are unknown.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Participant has advanced (locoregionally recurrent or metastatic) breast cancer not amenable to curative therapy. * Presence of genetic alterations in PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN in participants' tumor tissue. * Participant must have received at least 1 prior line of endocrine therapy for advanced/metastatic disease or participant who has radiological evidence of breast cancer recurrence or progression during or within 12 months from the end of adjuvant treatment with endocrine therapy, as these participants are considered as first-line relapsed participants. * Progression on previous cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor treatment in combination with fulvestrant or aromatase inhibitor is required. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Active or newly diagnosed central nervous system metastases. * Participants with advanced, symptomatic visceral spread, who are at risk of life-threatening complications in the short term, including massive uncontrolled effusions (peritoneal, pleural, pericardial), pulmonary lymphangitis, or liver involvement \>50%. * Participants with any toxicities related to prior radiation therapy that have not resolved to baseline or to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 Grade ≤1, except alopecia and peripheral sensory neuropathy (Grade ≤2).
