ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06644755
What this study is testing
What is DS-2243a?
DS-2243a is an investigational drug being studied as a potential treatment for advanced solid tumors such as synovial sarcoma, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma, non‑small cell lung cancer, and urothelial carcinoma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether DS-2243a is safe and how well it works. It also looks at any side effects the drug may cause.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have advanced solid tumors, such as sarcoma.
- What's involved
- You would take the drug DS-2243a. The team will check how your body handles it and if it helps your cancer.
- Time commitment
- The study has two parts, but the exact time and visits are not listed.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
