Study Summary

This trial is testing a combination of drugs to see if they can treat cancer that has a specific change in the PI3K pathway.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced squamous cell lung, pancreatic, head & neck cancers or solid tumors potentially linked to PI3K-pathway changes. They must have acceptable organ function and blood counts, no severe diabetes or heart conditions, not be on certain drugs affecting liver enzymes or the heart's rhythm, and agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a drug combo of Palbociclib and Gedatolisib for treating advanced cancers. It aims to see if these drugs can help patients whose cancer might be affected by specific genetic changes in the PI3K pathway.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include issues from lowered blood counts like increased infection risk, fatigue; abnormal liver tests; potential heart problems (QT prolongation); high blood sugar levels; and digestive disturbances.
