About this study
In plain language
This early study tests increasing doses of EPI-326 to learn about its safety, side effects, how it works in the body, and whether it fights cancer. It is for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR gene change, or head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC), that has spread nearby or to other parts of the body.
A phase 1 study to determine the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of ascending doses of EPI-326 administered to patients with locally advanced or metastatic HNSCC and to patients with any documented EGFR-mutant locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Expected to live more than 12 weeks from the first day of the study.
- Able to do all or most daily tasks, or able to care for yourself and be up more than half the day (ECOG score 0–2).
- Have NSCLC or HNSCC confirmed by lab testing of tissue or cells.
- For NSCLC, the cancer must have a confirmed change in the EGFR gene.
- Cancer has spread nearby or to other parts of the body.
- Organs are working well enough for the study.
Who can't join
- Have a history of an illness that is not under control.
- Have cancer that has spread to the brain and is causing symptoms.
- Were diagnosed with another cancer within the past 3 years, unless it was treated with the goal of curing it and there are no signs of active cancer.
