RMC-9805 for Solid Cancers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment, RMC-9805, for individuals with certain solid tumors that have a specific mutation called KRAS G12D. The goal is to determine the treatment's safety and tolerability, both alone and in combination with another drug, RMC-6236. Ideal candidates have advanced solid tumors with this mutation and have not responded to standard treatments or experienced adverse effects. Participants should not have brain tumors or difficulty swallowing medication. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the chance to be among the first to receive it.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether 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 this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that the treatment RMC-9805 is promising in terms of safety for patients with certain solid tumors. In earlier studies, taking RMC-9805 orally led to early and significant drops in tumor markers. Importantly, it has a "manageable safety profile," meaning the side effects are generally tolerable.
Researchers are still studying the safety of RMC-9805 when used with another treatment, RMC-6236. Both treatments are in the early testing stages, focusing mainly on safety and tolerability for people.
Overall, while research is ongoing, the initial results are encouraging for those considering joining a clinical trial.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Most treatments for solid cancers, like chemotherapy and radiation, target rapidly dividing cells but can affect healthy cells too, leading to significant side effects. RMC-9805 is unique because it specifically targets cancer cells by focusing on their particular vulnerabilities, which may reduce harm to normal cells. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it uses a new mechanism of action that might improve patient outcomes by being both more targeted and potentially more effective. Additionally, in combination with RMC-6236, it may enhance the treatment's effectiveness by attacking the cancer cells from multiple angles, offering hope for better control of the disease.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for KRAS G12D-mutant solid tumors?
Research shows that RMC-9805, which participants in this trial may receive, may help treat certain types of solid tumors with a specific mutation called KRAS G12D. In earlier studies, about 30% of patients experienced tumor shrinkage with RMC-9805 alone, and 80% of patients maintained stable disease without progression. This trial will also explore combining RMC-9805 with another treatment, RMC-6236, which might enhance effectiveness, though the exact results remain under study. Early evidence suggests that RMC-9805 can lower cancer markers in the blood, indicating potential effectiveness.12367

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 or could not tolerate them, and should be in fairly good health (ECOG status 0 or 1) with their organs working well. People can't join if they have issues absorbing pills, brain tumors, active brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or previous treatment with similar investigational drugs.Inclusion Criteria
