Description
GDC-6036 is an experimental drug currently being studied in clinical trials for certain types of advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including colorectal cancer. It is specifically being investigated in patients whose tumors have a KRAS G12C mutation. This mutation is a change in the KRAS gene, which can cause cancer cells to grow and spread. GDC-6036 is being tested to see if it is safe, how the body processes it (pharmacokinetics), and if it shows early signs of effectiveness (preliminary activity) in these patients. It is being studied alone and in combination with other cancer drugs like atezolizumab, bevacizumab, cetuximab, erlotinib, GDC-1971, and inavolisib. This is a Phase 1 trial, which means the primary goal is to determine the safest dose and understand how the drug works in people.
Mechanism of Action
GDC-6036 is designed to target the KRAS G12C protein, which is found in some cancer cells. The specific way GDC-6036 interacts with this protein is being studied. By targeting this protein, the drug aims to potentially stop or slow down the growth and spread of cancer cells that have this specific mutation.
