A Phase 1b/2 Study of Agents Targeting the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway in Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Malignancies (HERKULES-3)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of ERAS-007 in combination with other cancer therapies in study participants with advanced GI malignancies. * To determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and/or Recommended Dose (RD) of ERAS-007 administered in combination with other cancer therapies. * To evaluate the antitumor activity of ERAS-007 in combination with other cancer therapies. * To evaluate the PK profiles of ERAS-007 and other cancer therapies when administered in combination.

  • Anti-cancer therapy ≤ 21 days or 4 half-lives prior to first dose of study drug, whichever is shorter.
  • Palliative radiation ≤ 7 days prior to first dose of study drug.
  • History of chronic inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn's disease requiring medical intervention (immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive medications or surgery) ≤ 12 months prior to first study drug dose.
  • History of thromboembolic or cerebrovascular events ≤ 6 months prior to first dose.
  • Major surgery within 28 days of enrollment, or anticipation of major surgery during study treatment.

Other illness

  • Symptomatic brain metastasis or leptomeningeal disease.
  • Gastrointestinal conditions that may affect absorption of oral medications
  • Active infection requiring systemic therapy, or a known history of HIV infection, hepatitis B virus, or hepatitis C virus.
  • Active, clinically significant interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis.
  • Impaired cardiovascular function or clinically significant cardiovascular disease.

Lab values

  • Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or evidence of any other significant clinical disorder or laboratory finding that renders the patient inappropriate to participate in the study.

Other

  • Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
  • Adequate bone marrow and organ function.
  • Have ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
