A Study to Evaluate ERAS-801 in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma (THUNDERBBOLT-1)

August 13, 2025 updated by: Katmai Pharmaceuticals Inc.

A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the CNS-Penetrant EGFR/ERBB1 Inhibitor ERAS-801 in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma (THUNDERBBOLT-1)

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of ERAS-801 in study participants with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
  • To determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and/or Recommended Dose (RD) of ERAS-801.
  • To evaluate the antitumor activity of ERAS-801.
  • To evaluate the PK profile of ERAS-801.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter clinical study evaluating ERAS-801 as a monotherapy. The study will initially commence with dose escalation of ERAS-801 in study participants with recurrent GBM. Once the MTD and/or RD has been determined from dose escalation, then dose expansion of ERAS-801 may commence in study participants with recurrent GBM harboring alterations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Dose Escalation (Part 1)
ERAS-801 will be orally administered to study participants with recurrent GBM in sequential ascending doses until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent.
Administered orally
Experimental: Dose Expansion (Part 2)
ERAS-801 will be orally administered at the recommended dose (as determined from Part 1) to study participants with recurrent GBM harboring alterations in EGFR.
Administered orally
