GSK5764227 for Glioblastoma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called GSK5764227, an experimental therapy targeting aggressive brain tumors like glioblastoma and brain metastases. The trial aims to evaluate the treatment's effectiveness and behavior in the body. Participants may advance to a more intensive trial phase if their tumors respond positively to the drug initially. Suitable participants include those with recurrent glioblastoma after standard treatments or brain metastases requiring surgery. As an Early Phase 1 trial, this research seeks to understand the treatment's effects in people, offering participants the chance to be among the first to receive it.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop taking certain medications before starting the study drug. Specifically, you must not have taken any investigational agents, cytotoxic chemotherapy, anticancer drugs, monoclonal antibodies, or immunosuppressive agents within a specified period before the first infusion. Additionally, you should not be on strong/moderate inhibitors of certain enzymes and proteins within 7 days prior to the first infusion. Please consult with the study team for specific guidance on your current medications.
Is there any evidence suggesting that GSK5764227 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that GSK5764227, a treatment targeting cancer cells, is generally well-tolerated in studies for various advanced cancers. In ongoing research with over 200 participants who have advanced solid tumors, the treatment has demonstrated a promising safety profile, meaning most participants did not experience severe side effects.
The FDA has recognized GSK5764227 by granting it special status for conditions like bone cancer (osteosarcoma) and a type of lung cancer. This recognition suggests that the treatment has shown positive effects, often including reasonable safety.
Although this specific trial is in its early stages, existing evidence provides some reassurance about the treatment's safety. Early trials focus on finding the best dose and monitoring side effects. For those considering joining the trial, this indicates that the treatment has been deemed safe enough for human testing.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
GSK5764227 is unique because it offers a new approach to treating glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive brain cancer. Unlike traditional treatments that typically involve surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, GSK5764227 is designed to target specific molecular pathways involved in tumor growth. This targeted action means it could potentially be more effective and have fewer side effects compared to conventional options. Researchers are excited about its potential to provide a more precise attack on cancer cells, which might lead to better outcomes for patients with recurrent glioblastoma and those with brain metastases.
What evidence suggests that GSK5764227 might be an effective treatment for glioblastoma?
Research shows that GSK5764227, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), may help treat certain cancers. In studies for conditions like extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, this treatment controlled the disease in 81.8% of patients. Specifically, over 80% of patients did not experience cancer progression during the study. On average, the treatment halted cancer growth for about 4.7 months. In this trial, participants with recurrent glioblastoma (Arm A) or brain metastases (Arm B) will receive GSK5764227. GSK5764227 targets a protein called B7-H3, often found in large amounts on cancer cells, which could help kill cancer cells and offer hope for people with glioblastoma or brain metastases.16789

This trial is for about 15 people with recurrent Grade 4 glioma or brain metastases. Participants must show a positive response in the initial phase to continue to the therapeutic dosing phase.Inclusion Criteria
Exclusion Criteria
Timeline for a Trial Participant
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Phase 0
Participants with rGBM and brain metastases receive investigational drug GSK5764227 to determine optimal time interval for surgery based on PK data
Phase 1
Participants with positive PK response continue GSK5764227 treatment every three weeks until disease progression or other criteria are met
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after treatment, including 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day safety follow-up visits
Long-term Follow-up
Participants are monitored for survival and disease progression with MRI scans and RANO reviews every 2-3 months
