ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called VLS-1488 for people with advanced cancers, including types like ovarian, lung, breast, and colorectal cancer. The goal is to find out how safe and effective this treatment is for patients who have not had good results from other therapies. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 18 and older who have measurable cancer that can be seen on scans. To be eligible, patients should also be in relatively good health and able to take medication by mouth.

Participants in the study can expect to receive VLS-1488 and will be closely monitored by researchers to see how their bodies respond. They will undergo regular tests to check for any side effects and to evaluate how well the treatment is working. It’s important to note that there are certain health conditions that could exclude someone from joining, such as recent heart problems or specific genetic markers related to their cancer. This trial represents a new opportunity for patients with advanced cancer who have limited treatment options.
