About This Trial

This study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of TYK-00540 as monotherapy or combined with fulvestrant in advanced solid tumors.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For HR-positive, HER2-negative Advanced Breast Cancer, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 180 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused HR-positive, HER2-negative Advanced Breast Cancer subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.
