Any of you heard about the inhibitor RMC-7977?

How can a patient be included in preclinical research? Will such research be conducted only in the USA? Do you know anything about expanding clinical/preclinical studies to other countries? I am from Poland and my mother suffers from pancreatic cancer. My family and I are wondering how to gain access to this medicine, this new therapy. Thank you in advance for any information

Preclinical research (or laboratory studies) refers to research about a drug or treatment for a disease before it is tested with people.
See more info here about the phases of research

The early phases (phase 1 and 2) of human clinical trials usually involve small numbers of people. Phases 3 and 4 involve larger groups of people and are often conducted in multiple institutions and sometimes in multiple countries.
@mefiu1985, to find eligible clinical trials available for your mom, I would ask her oncologist.

From the little I have read about this inhibitor, the study is in its second stage with research being done with mice. I haven’t heard anything about human trials yet.
