A Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of KQB368 as Monotherapy in Participants With Advanced Solid Malignancies

April 17, 2026 updated by: Kumquat Biosciences Inc.

A Phase 1/1b, Open-label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of KQB368 in Participants With Advanced Solid Malignancies With KRAS G12S or G12C Mutations

The goal of this study is to learn if KQB368 works to treat advanced solid malignancies in adults. The study will also learn about the safety of KQB368. The main questions the study aims to answer are:

  • What is the safe dose of KQB368 as a monotherapy?
  • Does KQB368 decrease the size of the tumor?
  • What happens to KQB368 in the body?

Participants will:

  • Take KQB368 orally daily in 21-day cycles
  • Return to the study site about 7 times in the first 5 weeks, and then once at the beginning of every 21-day cycle after that

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary Objective
Time Frame: Up to 44 months

Number of patients who experience treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and dose-limiting toxicities.

Safety characterized by type, incidence, severity, timing, seriousness and relationship to study treatment of AEs, SAEs, and DLTs, from first dose of study treatment to 30 days after last dose of study treatment.

Up to 44 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective response rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to 44 months
Evaluate efficacy of study treatment, as measured by Objective Response Rate (ORR) using Response Evaluation Criteria (RECISTv1.1). Objective response is the proportion of subjects that experience confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST v1.1 during the time period from first dose of study treatment until last dose.
Up to 44 months
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 44 months
Evaluate efficacy of study treatment characterized by OS. Overall survival is defined as the time from start of treatment to death.
Up to 44 months
Duration of response (DOR)
Time Frame: Up to 44 months
Duration of response is defined as the time from date of the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) based on RECIST v1.1 to the first documentation of either PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Up to 44 months
Time to response (TTR)
Time Frame: Up to 44 months
Time to response is defined as time from first dose of study treatment to date of first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) based on RECIST v1.1.
Up to 44 months
Disease control rate (DCR)
Time Frame: Up to 44 months
Disease control rate is the proportion of subjects that experience confirmed complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease based on RECIST v1.1 during the time period from first dose of study treatment until last dose.
Up to 44 months
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Up to 44 months
Progression-free survival is defined as the time from enrollment to the date of Progressive Disease (PD) based on RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Up to 44 months
Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)
Time Frame: Up to 44 months
Up to 44 months
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: Up to 44 months
Up to 44 months
Time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax)
Time Frame: Up to 44 months
Up to 44 months
