Clinical summary

Summary

This study has two stages (Dose Finding and Dose Expansion) and is recruiting two cohorts of people: people with advanced, inoperable or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, and people with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Stage One: Dose Finding

Participants with non-small cell lung cancer will receive the experimental drug (called GDC-1971) at an assigned dose, orally, once daily, on Days 1 to 28 of each 28-day cycle, in combination with targeted therapy (caleld osimertinib) at a dose of 80mg oraly, once daily, on Days 1 to 28 of each cycle.

Participants with colorectal cancer will receive the experimental drug GDC-1971 at an assigned dose, orally, once daily, on Day 1 to 28 of each 28-day cycle in combination with targeted therapy (called cetuximab) at a dose of 500mg/m^2 given by intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each cycle.

Stage Two: Dose Expansion

Participants with non-small cell lung cancer will receive GDC-1971 at a dose determined in the Dose Finding stage, orally once daily, on Days 1 to 28 of each 28-day cycle, in combination with osimertinib at a dose of 80mg, orally once daily on Days 1 to 28 of each cycle.

Participants with colorectal cancer will receive GDC-1971 at a dose determined in the Dose Finding stage, orally once daily on Days 1 to 28 of each 28-day cycle, in combination with cetuximab at a dose of 500mg/m^2 given by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each cycle.

Conditions

This trial is treating people with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, and metastatic colorectal cancer
