RAMP202 Trial Summary

This trial will study whether a new drug is safe and effective for treating Non-small cell lung cancer that has come back.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had prior treatments, measurable disease, and known KRAS or BRAF mutations. They must be in good physical condition (ECOG ≤ 1), able to use contraception, and have recovered from previous treatment side effects. People with severe heart or lung conditions, recent strong drug interactions, symptomatic brain metastases, certain ocular disorders or infections are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of avutometinib alone or combined with defactinib in treating NSCLC. It aims to see how well these drugs work on patients who've seen their cancer return and carry specific genetic changes (KRAS G12V mutation among others).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions to cancer medications such as nausea, fatigue, skin issues, muscle problems like rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), liver function changes due to organ inflammation but specifics will depend on individual patient responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

In what areas has this trial been implemented?

"As of now, the trial is recruiting from 30 different sites located across America. Notable cities include Saint Louis, Chattanooga and Hackensack among others. It would be wise to select a location closest you so as to reduce travel commitments for participants."

Answered by AI

What is the total participant count for this research endeavor?

"This research, funded by Verastem Inc., requires 100 qualified individuals. It will be conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis and Chattanooga Oncology Hematology Assoc. in Chattanooga, New jersey."

Answered by AI

What primary goals are researchers attempting to achieve through this clinical investigation?

"This clinical trial has two main objectives. The primary goal is to measure efficacy over a 24-week period, while the secondary outcomes evaluate Overall Response Rate (ORR), Duration of Response (DOR) and Progression Free Survival (PFS). These metrics are assessed by investigator assessments such as Complete/Partial Remission or Disease Progression."

Answered by AI

Is recruitment for this research endeavor still being accepted?

"Indeed, the clinicaltrials.gov portal shows that this trial is presently recruiting patients - it was initially posted on December 31st 2020 and last updated July 19th 2022. The study requires 100 participants to be recruited from 30 different sites."

Answered by AI

Are there any published accounts of VS-6766 being used in prior experiments?

"VS-6766 was initially examined by the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group in 2015. Presently, there are 9 active research projects and 7 completed trials that have been conducted regarding this medication – many of which occur within Saint Louis, Missouri."

Answered by AI

What have been the reported safety outcomes of VS-6766 usage?

"Our team at Power evaluated the safety of VS-6766 to be a 2 due to its Phase 2 status. This indicates that there is some evidence backing the drug's security, but none confirming effectiveness."
