Summary

This trial tests a new oral drug, ET0038, in patients with advanced solid tumors, focusing on those with certain genetic changes. The study aims to see if the drug is safe and effective by blocking cancer growth pathways.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors who have tried standard treatments without success, or can't tolerate them, or if no standard options exist. They must be able to swallow pills and not have major health issues like active infections, uncontrolled brain metastasis, recent surgeries, certain eye problems, or a history of severe bleeding disorders.
What is being tested?
The study tests ET0038, an oral medication taken daily in 21-day cycles to see how safe it is and how well it works against various solid tumors. The first part of the trial will find the best dose by gradually increasing amounts given to new groups of patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed here but may include typical reactions seen with cancer therapies such as nausea, fatigue, blood count changes and increased risk of infection due to immune system suppression.

Other Research
Common treatments for solid tumors include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Chemotherapy works by killing rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, but can also affect normal cells, leading to side effects. Targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, specifically target molecular abnormalities in cancer cells, thereby reducing damage to normal cells and improving efficacy. Immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors, enhances the body's immune response against cancer cells. These mechanisms are crucial for solid tumor patients as they offer different approaches to control tumor growth, improve survival rates, and potentially reduce side effects compared to traditional treatments.
