Experimental cancer drug trial halted early – what we know
NCT ID NCT05578092
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tested a new drug called MRTX0902, alone or with another drug (adagrasib), in 64 people with advanced solid tumors that have certain gene mutations (KRAS-MAPK pathway). The main goals were to check safety and how the drug moves through the body. The trial was terminated early, so it did not reach later phases.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MRTX0902 (SOS1 inhibitor) and adagrasib (KRAS G12C inhibitor)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for certain advanced cancers with specific gene mutations.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very early (Phase 1) trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The drug may not prove effective or safe in larger studies.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor malignancy with any of the following oncogenic mutations detected in tumor tissue or ctDNA by a sponsor-approved test: 1. MRTX0902 monotherapy: known KRAS mutations, known annotated recurrent activating SOS1, PTPN11, class III BRAF, or EGFR mutation, or known annotated recurrent inactivating NF1 mutation; 2. MRTX0902 and adagrasib combination therapy: KRAS G12C mutation. * Unresectable or metastatic disease * No available treatment with curative intent; standard treatment is not available or patient declines * Presence of tumor lesions to be evaluated per RECIST 1.1. Phase 1 dose escalation, RECIST 1.1 measurable or evaluable disease * Presence of a tumor lesion amenable to mandatory biopsy for pharmacodynamic evaluation at baseline and on-study unless Sponsor-confirmed as medically unsafe or infeasible. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. * Adequate organ function Exclusion Criteria: * Active brain metastases or carcinomatous meningitis * Prior treatment with a KRAS G12C inhibitor (for Phase 1b expansion for MRTX0902 and adagrasib combination). * History of significant hemoptysis or hemorrhage within 4 weeks of the first dose of study treatment. * Major surgery within 4 weeks of first dose of study treatment * History of pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease * Ongoing need for medication with following characteristics: substrate of CYP3A; strong inducer or inhibitor or CYP3A and/or P-gp; strong inhibitors of BRCP and proton pump inhibitors * Cardiac abnormalities * History of intestinal disease, inflammatory bowel disease, major gastric surgery, or other gastrointestinal conditions (eg, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, malabsorption syndrome) likely to alter absorption of study treatment or result in inability to swallow oral medications
