Detailed Description

EP0031 is being investigated in this modular, interventional Phase I/II dose escalation and dose expansion study to investigate the optimal dose in adult patients with advanced RET-altered malignancies. Currently there are no approved RET-targeted treatments for patients who progress on first-generation SRIs. However, it is proposed that EP0031 can overcome resistance mechanisms to first generation SRIs, as EP0031 is a potent and selective RET inhibitor with broad activity against common RET fusions and mutations. Phase I (dose escalation and optimization) has completed and a RP2D has been selected for Phase II.
