Description
Bms-986466 is an investigational drug, meaning it is still being studied in clinical trials and is not yet approved for treating any condition, including colorectal cancer (CRC). It was tested in a Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT06024174) for patients with advanced solid tumors that have a specific mutation called KRAS G12C. This trial included patients with CRC, as well as other cancers like lung, pancreatic, and biliary tract cancers. The trial aimed to determine a safe dose of Bms-986466, often given in combination with other drugs (adagrasib, sometimes with cetuximab), and to see if the combination was effective. The trial has been terminated. Bms-986466 is taken orally (by mouth).
Mechanism of Action
Bms-986466 is being studied as a potential treatment for cancers with the KRAS G12C mutation. The specific way it works (its molecular target or mechanism of action) is not fully detailed in the available trial information, but it is designed to target cancer cells. It was often studied in combination with adagrasib, which targets the KRAS G12C protein directly, and sometimes with cetuximab, which targets the EGFR protein. The trial aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Bms-986466 in this setting.
