Study Summary

This trial will test a new cancer drug, TVB-2640, on patients with a specific type of non-small cell lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS mutation and has worsened despite previous treatments including chemotherapy and immune therapy. Participants must have good organ function, no severe heart disease or infections, not be pregnant, and agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests TVB-2640 in patients with KRAS mutant NSCLC. It's a phase 2 trial where all participants receive the drug over an 8-week period to see how effective it is against their cancer after other treatments have failed.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of TVB-2640 may include allergic reactions if there's a history of hypersensitivity, issues from impaired GI function affecting drug absorption, risks related to heart conditions like torsade de pointes due to QT interval prolongation, and complications from active infections.
