You can't join if

• Participants may not be receiving any other investigational agents
• Participants with a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to ERAS-801 are ineligible
• Participants with prior therapy with EGFR inhibitors such as EGFR kinase inhibitors or other EGFR-targeted agents that have the potential to deplete the tumor of EGFR-amplified or EGFR mutant cell populations and confound the evaluation of ERAS-801 effects on participants are ineligible. If a participant had received previous treatment with EGFR-targeted agents but tumor resection after completing this treatment still shows EGFR amplification, patient might still be eligible and should be discussed with the principal investigator (PI)
• Participants on enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAED) are not eligible for treatment on this protocol. Patients may be on non-enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs or not be taking any anti-epileptic drugs.

• Participants with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, are ineligible
• Pregnant women are excluded from this study because ERAS-801 has unknown potential for teratogenic or abortifacients effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with ERAS-801, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with ERAS-801
