WEF-001

Clinical trials are investigating WEF-001 in people with advanced KRAS-mutant solid tumours. These studies aim to learn about safety, tolerability, dose limits, and early signs of antitumour activity. The trials include adults with advanced solid tumours carrying KRAS mutations.

Trial overview

These trials are interventional studies, which means researchers give WEF-001 and then watch what happens in the participants.[1] Both trials study WEF-001 given by intravenous treatment, meaning it is given through a vein.[1] The study title in both records is the same: a study to investigate WEF-001 in patients with advanced KRAS-mutant solid tumours.[1][2]

Who is being studied

The target population is people with advanced KRAS-mutant solid tumours.[1][2] “Advanced” means the cancer has grown or spread, and “KRAS-mutant” means the cancer has a change in the KRAS gene.[1][2] The trial data do not give more detailed joining rules, such as age limits or prior treatment rules.[1][2]

Study phases and goals

These are Phase 1 trials, with a Phase 2a part also described in the trial plan.[1][2] In Phase 1, the main goals are to describe the safety and tolerability of WEF-001 when used alone, and to find the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 doses.[1][2] In Phase 2a, the main goal is to look for early signs that the treatment may help shrink tumours.[1][2]

What the trials measure

The Phase 1 endpoints include the type, number, and severity of TEAEs, SAEs, and abnormal laboratory values, using CTCAE v5.0 to grade them.[1][2] TEAEs are treatment-emergent adverse events, which means health problems that appear after treatment starts, and SAEs are serious adverse events.[1][2] The study also measures how often treatment is interrupted, reduced, or stopped, and how many participants have dose-limiting toxicities at each dose level.[1][2]

The Phase 2a endpoint is overall response rate, or ORR, using RECIST v 1.1.[1][2] ORR means the share of participants whose tumours shrink or disappear on scans, and RECIST v 1.1 is a standard way to measure tumour change.[1][2]

Trial status and enrollment

One trial record is Withdrawn and the other is Authorised.[1][2] Each record lists an enrollment of 90 participants.[1][2] Because the two records share the same title, phase, condition, intervention, and endpoints, they appear to describe the same study in different regulatory statuses.[1][2]

Trial ID Phase Condition studied Status Enrollment

Glossary

  • Advanced solid tumour: A cancer that has grown beyond its original place and is not a blood cancer.
  • KRAS-mutant: A cancer with a change in the KRAS gene. A gene is a piece of genetic material that helps control how cells grow.
  • Interventional study: A clinical trial where researchers give a treatment and then watch what happens.
  • Phase 1: An early trial stage that mainly checks safety, side effects, and the right dose.
  • Phase 2a: An early part of Phase 2 that looks for first signs that a treatment may work.
  • Monotherapy: Using only one treatment, without combining it with other cancer drugs.
  • Safety and tolerability: How well people handle the treatment and what side effects happen.
  • Maximum tolerated dose (MTD): The highest dose that most people can take without too many serious side effects.
  • Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D): The dose chosen for later studies because it looks acceptable for safety and use.
  • Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT): A side effect that is severe enough to limit how much treatment can be given.
  • Overall response rate (ORR): The percentage of people whose tumours shrink or disappear during treatment.
  • RECIST v 1.1: A standard way to measure whether tumours have changed in size on scans.
