Description
ETC-1922159 is an experimental drug currently being studied in clinical trials for advanced solid tumors, including colorectal cancer. It is being investigated to determine its safety, how it is processed by the body (pharmacokinetics), and its effects on the body (pharmacodynamics). Trials have evaluated ETC-1922159 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug. The trials included patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors for whom standard treatments were not available or had failed. The studies are designed to find the safest dose and understand how the drug works. The trials specifically included patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors. This drug is still in early-phase development (Phase 1).
Mechanism of Action
ETC-1922159 is being studied as a potential treatment for advanced solid tumors. The specific way it works (its mechanism of action) is being investigated in clinical trials. It is being tested both as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab.
