This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04192344RecruitingPhase 1
First test of an anti-cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests how safe a new drug (ABSK-021) is, what side effects it causes, and how the body processes it in people with advanced solid tumors. You may be eligible if your cancer has grown despite standard treatments or if no standard treatment exists.

What taking part in a advanced or metastatic solid tumors study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
