Daraxonrasib for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
(RASolve 301 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment, daraxonrasib, for individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to determine its safety and effectiveness compared to the standard treatment, docetaxel. It targets those whose cancer cannot be cured by surgery or radiation and who have a specific RAS mutation (a change in the cancer cell's DNA). Participants should have previously undergone one or two cancer treatments, including a specific type of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This trial offers a new approach for those whose previous treatments have been unsuccessful. As a Phase 3 trial, it represents the final step before FDA approval, providing a promising new option for patients.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but ongoing anticancer therapy is not allowed.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that daraxonrasib, a new treatment being tested for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), has a manageable safety profile based on earlier studies. Most side effects were expected and could be controlled. Patients with previously treated NSCLC who took daraxonrasib experienced some side effects, but these were generally mild to moderate.
Although specific data from these studies aren't provided here, daraxonrasib is already being tested in a Phase 3 trial. This indicates some confidence in its safety, as treatments usually need to prove they are relatively safe in earlier phases before reaching this stage.
Overall, early findings suggest that daraxonrasib could be well-tolerated by patients, with manageable side effects. However, deciding to join a trial is a personal choice, and discussing any concerns with a healthcare provider is important.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Daraxonrasib is unique because it offers a new approach to treating non-small cell lung cancer by specifically targeting genetic mutations within cancer cells. Unlike traditional treatments like chemotherapy, which attack both healthy and cancerous cells, Daraxonrasib is designed to hone in on specific molecular targets, potentially reducing side effects and improving effectiveness. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it represents a more personalized approach to cancer therapy, which could lead to better outcomes for patients with certain genetic profiles.
What evidence suggests that daraxonrasib might be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer?
Research has shown that daraxonrasib, which participants in this trial may receive, may help treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with RAS mutations. In earlier studies, this treatment shrank tumors in over a third of patients. The positive effects lasted an average of 15.1 months, indicating long-lasting benefits. Additionally, early tests showed a decrease in cancer-related DNA in the blood, suggesting the drug effectively targets cancer cells. These findings suggest daraxonrasib could be a promising option for patients with this type of lung cancer.23678
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can't be cured by surgery or radiation. They should have tried up to two treatments before, including immunotherapy and chemo, and must have a specific RAS gene mutation. Participants need to be able to swallow pills, have decent physical health (ECOG status of 0 or 1), and their organs must work well.Inclusion Criteria
