Adagrasib + Palbociclib for Solid Tumors
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests two drugs, MRTX849 (adagrasib) and palbociclib, to determine their safety and effectiveness when combined to treat advanced solid tumors with the KRAS G12C mutation. The researchers aim to establish the maximum safe dosage and assess whether the combination can combat these tumors. The study seeks participants with a solid tumor featuring the KRAS G12C mutation that is either inoperable or has metastasized. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding the treatment's effects in people, offering participants the chance to be among the first to receive this potentially groundbreaking therapy.
Do I need to stop 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 this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that adagrasib, when used alone, has promising results in treating certain tumors with the KRAS G12C mutation. It is generally well-tolerated, meaning most people can manage the side effects. Ongoing research aims to understand the safety of using adagrasib with palbociclib, a drug often used to treat breast cancer.
Previous studies have examined the safety of this combination and how the body processes these drugs. As this trial is in an early stage, its goal is to determine the safest dose and monitor for side effects. Participants might experience some side effects, but these are closely monitored to ensure safety.
Overall, the combination of adagrasib and palbociclib is being tested for safety and potential benefits in treating certain cancers. The research remains in the early stages, with a focus on carefully studying the safety of this combination.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about Adagrasib combined with Palbociclib for solid tumors because these drugs target cancer in a novel way compared to standard treatments. Adagrasib (MRTX849) specifically targets the KRAS G12C mutation, a common driver in many cancers, offering a tailored approach where traditional chemotherapy might not. Palbociclib, on the other hand, inhibits CDK4/6, which helps control cell division, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of Adagrasib. Together, this combination aims to attack cancer cells more precisely while minimizing damage to healthy cells, which could lead to better outcomes with fewer side effects.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for advanced solid tumors with KRAS G12C mutation?
This trial will study the combination of adagrasib and palbociclib for treating solid tumors. Research has shown that adagrasib may help treat solid tumors with a specific change in the KRAS gene, known as the KRAS G12C mutation, which can cause cancer to grow. When combined with palbociclib, a drug that stops cancer cells from dividing, the treatment aims to block tumor growth more effectively. Early lab studies suggest that this combination might better prevent cancer from worsening. Initial research showed that this combo can shrink tumors, offering potential benefits for patients with this mutation. While more research is needed, the early results are promising for those with advanced solid tumors.23678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have a specific mutation called KRAS G12C. Participants must not have any curative treatment options available and should have adequate organ function. They can't join if they have another active cancer, had severe side effects from similar treatments before, or conditions affecting drug absorption.Inclusion Criteria
