A Study to Test Different Doses of BI 1701963 Alone and Combined With Trametinib in Patients With Different Types of Advanced Cancer (Solid Tumours With KRAS Mutation)
NCT04111458 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This is a study in adults with advanced cancer (solid tumours) in whom previous chemotherapy was not successful. Only people who have a tumour with a KRAS mutation can participate in the study. A KRAS mutation makes cancer grow faster. The study tests 2 medicines called BI 1701963 and trametinib. BI 1701963 prevents reactivation of KRAS. In this study, BI 1701963 is given to humans for the first time. Trametinib is an approved medicine (MEK inhibitor). The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 1701963 alone and in combination with trametinib the participants can tolerate. Another purpose is to check whether BI 1701963 in combination with trametinib is able to make tumours shrink. Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. During this time, they get tablets of BI 1701963 and trametinib once daily. The doctors regularly monitor the size of the tumour. Doctors also regularly record any unwanted effects and check participants' health.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04111458
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04111458 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 71 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Boehringer Ingelheim, which has 203 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Solid Tumors, KRAS Mutation; SOS1 appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Trametinib is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04111458 reports 8 study locations spanning 5 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Other, Massachusetts, North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
