New pill targets Hard-to-Treat cancers: early trial recruits 554 patients
NCT ID NCT05786924
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental oral drug called S241656 (BDTX-4933) in people with advanced solid tumors that have certain genetic changes (KRAS, BRAF, or other RAS/MAPK mutations). The trial has two parts: first, finding a safe dose, then testing how well it works alone or with other cancer drugs. About 554 adults with lung, colorectal, pancreatic, or other cancers will take the drug daily in 28-day cycles. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- S241656 (also called BDTX-4933), an oral RAF inhibitor
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that have specific genetic mutations (like KRAS or BRAF) and have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not work as hoped or could cause unexpected side effects. It is also testing many different cancer types and combinations, making it harder to prove benefit for any single group.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
