TNG462 Combination for Lung and Pancreatic Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new oral treatment combination for lung and pancreatic cancer. Researchers aim to assess the safety and effectiveness of TNG462 when combined with either RMC-6236 or RMC-9805. The trial progresses through phases to determine the appropriate dose and identify early signs of efficacy against cancer. This study may suit individuals with advanced lung or pancreatic cancer who have tumors lacking a specific protein (MTAP) or a RAS gene mutation and who have tried standard treatments but not RAS-targeted ones. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that TNG462, when combined with either RMC-6236 or RMC-9805, yields promising results in early studies. This treatment has effectively addressed various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. Importantly, the safety of TNG462 is considered tolerable, allowing most patients to manage the side effects. For RMC-9805, the combination is generally safe at a specific dose, with few serious side effects reported.
As this trial is in its early stages, the researchers aim to learn more about the safety and tolerability of these combinations. Participants will receive close monitoring to address any side effects promptly.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Unlike standard treatments for lung and pancreatic cancer, which often involve chemotherapy or radiation, the investigational drugs TNG462, RMC-6236, and RMC-9805 are part of a targeted therapy approach. These treatments work differently by specifically targeting and interrupting cancer cell growth pathways. TNG462, in particular, is designed to be more selective in attacking cancer cells, potentially leading to fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy. Researchers are excited because these drugs might offer a more effective and less toxic treatment option for patients with these challenging cancers.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for lung and pancreatic cancer?
Research has shown that the combination of TNG462 and RMC-6236, which participants in this trial may receive, holds promise for treating certain cancers. Studies have found this combination effective in treating non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. Early results suggest that TNG462 targets a common genetic change in these cancers. Another combination in this trial, TNG462 and RMC-9805, has also shown potential, with studies reporting significant tumor shrinkage when used with other treatments. These early findings suggest that both combinations could help control tumor growth in specific types of cancer.12467

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced lung or pancreatic cancer who have tried standard treatments but haven't had RAS-targeted therapy. They should be relatively healthy (ECOG PS of 0 or 1), have specific genetic changes in their tumors, and measurable disease. Participants must also be able to swallow pills.Inclusion Criteria
