BGB-15025 + Tislelizumab for Advanced Cancers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new drug, BGB-15025, both alone and with tislelizumab (an immunotherapy drug), to assess safety and determine the best dose for individuals with advanced solid tumors. The research aims to understand how these treatments work, both separately and together, possibly with chemotherapy. It seeks participants with advanced cancers, such as lung or stomach cancer, that have not responded to standard treatments or lack other treatment options. Individuals with a measurable tumor and good organ function may qualify for this study. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding the treatment's effects in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new drug.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications, you must stop them at least 14 days before the first dose of the study treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications, you may need to stop them at least 14 days before starting the trial treatment.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that BGB-15025, whether used alone or with tislelizumab, is generally well-tolerated. Studies reported no severe side effects that would prevent patients from continuing treatment. Tislelizumab, the other part of the treatment, has been tested in different cancers and has a known safety record. Common side effects include tiredness and low red blood cell count, which can be managed.
These results encourage patients considering joining a trial. Since this trial is in its early stages, the main goal is to ensure the treatment's safety and to find the right dose.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about the combination of BGB-15025 and Tislelizumab for advanced cancers because these treatments work differently compared to traditional options. Unlike standard chemotherapy that targets rapidly dividing cells broadly, BGB-15025 is a small molecule inhibitor that potentially targets specific cancer pathways, which may reduce side effects. Tislelizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. This combination offers a targeted approach that might enhance the body's natural defenses against cancer, providing new hope for patients with advanced stages of the disease.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for advanced cancers?
Research has shown that BGB-15025 holds promise in early studies when used alone. In this trial, some participants will receive BGB-15025 alone, while others will receive it combined with Tislelizumab. Earlier research indicated that Tislelizumab alone helped about 24% of patients with advanced bladder cancer, with nearly a quarter experiencing tumor shrinkage. This suggests that BGB-15025, particularly when combined with Tislelizumab, could enhance treatment outcomes. The combination is generally well-tolerated, making it an appealing treatment option. More studies are needed to fully understand its effectiveness, but early results are promising.12467

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors, including lung, esophageal, or stomach cancers that have worsened after treatment or haven't been treated yet. They must be relatively healthy (ECOG ≤ 1) and have at least one tumor that can be measured. People who've had prior HPK1-targeted therapy or don't meet specific blood and organ function tests cannot join.Inclusion Criteria
