ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06669117

This clinical trial is testing a new drug, VERT-002, to see if it is safe and effective for patients with advanced solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, that have specific changes in the MET gene.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new drug called VERT-002 in patients with advanced solid tumors, such as non-small cell lung cancer, that have specific alterations in the MET gene. Researchers aim to find the safest and most effective dose of VERT-002 for these patients.
