Frequently asked questions about STX-478

What is STX-478 used for?

STX-478 is an investigational small molecule being studied in adults with advanced solid tumors, including breast cancer. It is being evaluated as monotherapy and in combination with other antineoplastic agents in a Phase 1 first-in-human study. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does STX-478 target?

STX-478 targets PIK3CA, the gene encoding the p110 alpha catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. PIK3CA is a commonly altered gene in several cancers, including breast cancer, and is the molecular target of this small molecule agent.

Who is developing STX-478?

STX-478 is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LLY. Lilly is the sponsor of the ongoing Phase 1 first-in-human study of STX-478 in advanced solid tumors.

What phase is STX-478 in?

STX-478 is in Phase 1 clinical development. The single registered trial is a first-in-human Phase 1 study that is currently recruiting participants. STX-478 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency for any indication.

What clinical trials is STX-478 in?

STX-478 is being studied in one active trial, NCT05768139, titled a first-in-human study of tersolisib (STX-478) as monotherapy and in combination with other antineoplastic agents in participants with advanced solid tumors. The trial is recruiting, with an estimated enrollment of 880 participants across the United States, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and Spain.

Is STX-478 the same as [14C]-STX-478?

Yes, [14C]-STX-478 is an alternative name for STX-478, referring to the carbon-14 labeled form of the compound used in research. STX-478 is also known as tersolisib, the name used in its clinical trial title.
