BMS-986465 Safety Study in Healthy Subjects
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to assess the safety and tolerability of a new treatment, BMS-986465, in healthy individuals. It also examines how food and other factors influence the drug's absorption in the body. Participants will be divided into groups to receive varying doses or placebos (inactive substances) for comparison. Healthy individuals without major health issues and who are not pregnant may qualify, with a specific group for those of Japanese ethnicity. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that BMS-986465 is a treatment under study to assess its safety and tolerability. Detailed safety information is currently limited. However, as it is in an early testing phase, researchers closely monitor participants' responses. This phase focuses on ensuring the treatment's safety and the body's ability to handle it.
Specific side effects may not yet be listed, but the study aims to understand how the drug interacts with food and different doses, helping to identify potential issues. If BMS-986465 had been approved for another condition, it might provide clues about its safety. For now, researchers exercise caution in these early trials.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about BMS-986465 because it offers a fresh approach, potentially acting with a novel mechanism of action compared to standard treatments for its targeted condition. While many current treatments rely on established pathways, BMS-986465 might target different biological processes, offering a new way to tackle the condition. Additionally, the study explores different dosing strategies, including single and multiple ascending doses, which could provide insights into its optimal use and effectiveness. This could lead to more personalized treatment options and better outcomes for patients.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective?
Research has shown that BMS-986465 is under investigation for its potential to treat neuroinflammation, or inflammation in the nervous system. This trial will evaluate BMS-986465 through various phases, including single and multiple ascending doses, to assess its safety in healthy subjects. The drug blocks a protein called TYK2, part of the immune system, which can cause harmful inflammation. Although limited data exists on its effectiveness in humans, its mechanism suggests it might aid conditions where neuroinflammation plays a significant role. Further research is necessary to confirm its benefits and safety for these conditions.12456
