Clinical Trials Timothy Yap is currently running
Adagrasib + Olaparib
for Solid Tumors
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, adagrasib and olaparib, in patients with advanced solid tumors that have specific genetic mutations. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if the combination can effectively block cancer growth and prevent cancer cells from repairing themselves. Olaparib has shown activity in various cancers, particularly those with certain genetic mutations.

SW-682
for Solid Tumors
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1a/1b open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion study of SW-682 in adult participants with metastatic or unresectable advanced solid tumors with or without Hippo pathway alterations that are refractory to, or have progressed, during or after appropriate prior systemic anticancer therapy, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy or targeted therapy, or for which no treatment is available, or prior standard of care (SOC) therapy was not tolerated and for which there is no further SOC treatment available. The study includes a Part 1 (Phase 1a) dose escalation phase and a Part 2 (Phase 1b) dose expansion to optimize the dose to be used for further development. All participants will self-administer SW-682 by mouth in 28-day cycles.
