MRTX1133 for Solid Cancers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment, MRTX1133, for individuals with certain solid tumors that have a specific gene change known as the KRAS G12D mutation. The goal is to determine if MRTX1133 can shrink or halt the growth of these tumors. The trial seeks participants with advanced cancer that cannot be surgically removed and who have already tried standard treatments. Those with a confirmed tough-to-treat solid tumor with this mutation might be suitable candidates. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, and participants could be among the first to receive it.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that MRTX1133 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that MRTX1133 holds promise for treating cancers with a KRAS G12D mutation. It has demonstrated strong anti-tumor effects in lab and animal studies, particularly for pancreatic cancer. The studies aim to assess the treatment's safety and patient tolerance, meaning how patients handle the treatment without serious side effects.
Currently, detailed safety information for humans is still being collected, as this trial is in its early stages. This phase focuses on determining the best dose and closely monitoring any side effects. Although complete safety results for humans are not yet available, careful observation is essential when testing a new treatment in people for the first time.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
MRTX1133 is unique because it specifically targets the KRAS G12D mutation, a common driver in several tough-to-treat cancers like non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and colorectal cancer (CRC). Most current treatments for these cancers, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapies, do not directly address this specific mutation. Researchers are excited about MRTX1133 because it offers a new mechanism of action by homing in on this genetic mutation, potentially leading to more effective and personalized treatments for patients with these hard-to-treat cancers.
What evidence suggests that MRTX1133 might be an effective treatment for solid cancers with a KRAS G12D mutation?
Studies have shown that MRTX1133 effectively targets cancer cells with a KRAS G12D mutation, commonly found in pancreatic cancer. In lab tests, MRTX1133 stopped these cancer cells from growing and even shrank tumors in animals. The drug blocks a specific protein essential for the growth of these cancer cells. Research indicates that MRTX1133's effectiveness relies on T-cells, a type of immune cell. Overall, early results suggest that MRTX1133 could be a promising treatment for tumors with the KRAS G12D mutation. Participants in this trial will receive MRTX1133, with the study including dose escalation and evaluation phases, followed by a phase where the recommended dose is administered to separate cohorts of patients with selected solid tumor malignancies.12678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have a specific mutation called KRAS G12D. Participants must have tried standard treatments without success, be in fairly good health and physical condition (ECOG status of 0 or 1), and their cancer should not be removable by surgery. They can't join if they've had certain gastrointestinal issues, brain metastases, previous treatment with a KRAS G12D inhibitor (for later phases), or significant bleeding recently.Inclusion Criteria
