ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is evaluating a new treatment called ANS014004 for patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, which are types of cancers that have spread and cannot be surgically removed. This is a Phase 1 study, meaning it is one of the first times this drug is being tested in humans. The trial has two parts: the first part will find the safest dose of ANS014004, while the second part will look at how well the drug works once the dose is established. Participants will take ANS014004 by mouth daily for 28-day cycles and will be monitored closely for any side effects and changes in their tumors through regular imaging.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be 18 years or older and have a confirmed diagnosis of certain types of solid tumors that are not responding to standard treatments. They should also have specific genetic changes related to the MET gene, which the study focuses on. Participants can expect to undergo a screening process and will remain in the study until the treatment is no longer appropriate for them or until they choose to leave the study. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and it’s important to discuss any questions or concerns with a healthcare provider before considering participation.
