Summary

This trial is testing two pills, MRTX849 (adagrasib) and palbociclib, in patients with advanced cancers that have a specific genetic mutation called KRAS G12C. MRTX849 targets the faulty part of the cancer cell, while palbociclib stops the cells from growing. The goal is to see if these drugs can safely and effectively stop the cancer from progressing.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have a specific mutation called KRAS G12C. Participants must not have any curative treatment options available and should have adequate organ function. They can't join if they have another active cancer, had severe side effects from similar treatments before, or conditions affecting drug absorption.
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of two drugs: Adagrasib (MRTX849) and Palbociclib on patients with advanced solid tumors harboring the KRAS G12C mutation to assess safety and effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive issues, liver problems due to altered organ function, fatigue, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding complications.

Other Research
The most common treatments for solid tumors often involve targeted therapies that focus on specific genetic mutations and pathways critical for cancer cell survival and proliferation. For example, MRTX849 (adagrasib) is a KRAS G12C inhibitor that targets a specific mutation in the KRAS gene, which is frequently involved in the growth of various cancers. By inhibiting this mutation, adagrasib can effectively halt cancer cell proliferation. Similarly, palbociclib is a CDK4/6 inhibitor that disrupts the cell cycle by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6, leading to cell cycle arrest and reduced tumor growth. These targeted therapies are significant for solid tumor patients as they offer more personalized and potentially more effective treatment options with fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
