brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, drug levels, molecular effects, and clinical activity of MRTX849 (adagrasib) in patients with advanced solid tumors that have a KRAS G12C mutation.
detailed Description
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, metabolites, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of MRTX849 (adagrasib) in patients with advanced solid tumors with a KRAS G12C mutation. MRTX849 (adagrasib) is an orally-available small molecule inhibitor of KRAS G12C.
