Duvelisib + BMS-986345 for Lymphoma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new drug combination for individuals with certain types of lymphoma, a cancer affecting the immune system. The goal is to determine a safe dose and assess how well participants tolerate the combination of two drugs, BMS-986345 and duvelisib (also known as Copiktra, an oral medication). It is suitable for those who have tried other lymphoma treatments without success and have no other viable options. Participants should have a measurable tumor and should not have recently undergone a stem cell transplant or certain other treatments. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new drug combination.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop all current medications, but you cannot take certain medications like potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers within 14 days before starting the study treatment. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team to see if any need to be adjusted.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that duvelisib, one of the treatments in this trial, raised safety concerns in past studies. Specifically, it posed a higher risk of death and serious side effects compared to another cancer medicine. While duvelisib can be effective, it requires careful monitoring due to these potential risks.
Regarding BMS-986345, limited public information exists on its safety because the study involving it remains in an early stage. Early-stage studies typically focus on determining the safest dose and assessing how well participants tolerate the treatment.
In summary, duvelisib presents known risks that require monitoring, and BMS-986345 is still under study to evaluate its safety. Participants should consider these factors when deciding whether to join the trial.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about combining Duvelisib with BMS-986345 for lymphoma because this treatment approach could offer a new way to tackle the disease. Most treatments for lymphoma focus on disrupting the growth of cancer cells through traditional chemotherapy or monoclonal antibodies. However, Duvelisib is a PI3K inhibitor, targeting specific proteins involved in cancer cell survival, while BMS-986345 is being tested to enhance this effect by working in tandem with Duvelisib. This combination aims to improve effectiveness and potentially reduce the progression of the disease, offering hope for better outcomes compared to existing therapies.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for lymphoma?
Research has shown that duvelisib, a pill, yields promising results in treating certain blood cancers like lymphoma. In studies, duvelisib effectively targeted cancer in patients who had already received multiple treatments. It blocks specific proteins that aid cancer cell growth. This trial tests the combination of duvelisib with BMS-986345 to determine if it can safely and effectively treat lymphoma. While the effectiveness of BMS-986345 remains under study, combining it with duvelisib might enhance its efficacy.678910
