No known activity

No investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity yet in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

HealthScout AI summary: Eligible patients are adults with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, non-small cell or small cell lung cancer, breast, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, urothelial, sarcoma, or thyroid cancer that has progressed after standard therapies; participants must have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and be willing to undergo tumor biopsy. Patients will receive intravenous SLV-154 (mechanism and target undisclosed) in 3-week cycles at escalating doses to determine safety and dosing parameters.

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors harboring AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway alterations (excluding concurrent EGFR/KRAS/NRAS/HRAS/BRAF drivers) receive the investigational AKT-pathway inhibitor TER-2013 as monotherapy (expansion in ovarian/cervical/SCCHN/lung/esophageal and endometrial cancers) or with fulvestrant for HR+/HER2- breast cancer previously treated with an aromatase inhibitor. Prior AKT/PI3K/PTEN inhibitors (and prior SERD/mTOR in combo expansion) are excluded; requires ECOG 0–1 and adequate organ function.
