Study description
This study is needed to find new treatments for certain types of cancer that are difficult to treat. These cancers have changes in their genes (hereditary material), called mutations, which can affect signals in cells that help cells grow and survive. This causes uncontrolled cell growth and cancer. The study focuses on certain mutations in five genes: KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF and CRAF. These mutations are common in cancers like lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, biliary tract cancer (the biliary tract consists of the gallbladder and the bile ducts, which produce, store, and release bile), and others.
The study drug, S241656, is designed to block the effect of these mutations, which may stop cancer cells from growing.
Researchers hope that by giving this new drug alone or combined with other anti-cancer treatments, they can find better treatments for these cancers and improve the lives of people who have them. This research is crucial because current treatments don’t work well enough for these cancers, and patients need better options.
The main goals of the study are:
- For Part 1, to look at the safety and tolerability of S241656 (at different increasing doses) alone or in combination with other anti-cancer treatments.
- For Part 2, to see how well S241656 works in treating the tumor, alone or in combination with other anti-cancer treatments.

Eligibility Criteria
Eligible age for the study
Sex
Male/FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers
NoTo take part, participants have to:
- Be adults aged 18 years or older.
- Have a tumor with a specific mutation in the KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF and/or CRAF genes.
- Have received at least one anti-cancer treatment before starting the study.
- Have adequate organ and bone marrow function.
Participants cannot take part in the study if:
- They have a tumor with a mutation in the MEK1/2 genes.
- They are currently undergoing treatment for their cancer.
How is the study designed?
Small groups of participants will receive different doses and/or dose schedules of S241656 alone or in combination with other anti-cancer treatments to determine the best and safest dose. This part is called dose escalation.
Participants will take the study drug, S241656, as capsules or tablets by mouth. The drug will be taken during periods called “cycles”. One cycle lasts 28 days. Some participants will also receive other cancer treatments, like chemotherapy, along with the study drug. If participants receive chemotherapy, it will be given through a drip into a vein.
Groups of participants will receive the best doses of the study drug(s) to better determine the safety and effectiveness of S241656 alone or in combination with other anti-cancer treatments. This part is called dose optimization and dose expansion.
