Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination study treatment with avutometinib and defactinib will prolong life in participants, is effective in decreasing the size of the tumor(s), and if it is safe in subjects with diffuse-type stomach cancer.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but you cannot take certain drugs that interact with the study medications, like strong CYP3A4, CYP2C9, P-glycoprotein, or breast cancer resistance protein inhibitors or inducers. If you're on warfarin, you may need to switch to a different blood thinner.
