BI 907828 for Advanced Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called brigimadlin (BI 907828) for individuals with advanced cancer (solid tumors). The main goal is to determine the safest dose patients can tolerate and assess its effectiveness in shrinking tumors. Participants will take brigimadlin as a tablet, either on one day every three weeks or on two days every four weeks. This trial targets adults with cancer that has worsened or returned, who cannot receive standard treatments, or have specific types of cancer known as MDM2 amplified sarcomas. Regular health check-ups will monitor the treatment's effects. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how brigimadlin works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but it mentions that patients who need to continue restricted medications or drugs that might interfere with the trial cannot participate. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that BI 907828 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that brigimadlin (BI 907828) has a manageable safety profile based on previous studies. It was tested on patients with advanced biliary tract cancer, and the results were promising. Participants generally tolerated the treatment well, with only mild to moderate side effects reported. Common side effects included tiredness and nausea, but these were usually not severe.
This study aims to find the optimal dose that people can handle without too many side effects. As an early study, the focus is on determining how much of the treatment is safe for people to take. Doctors will regularly monitor participants' health to ensure the treatment remains safe.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about BI 907828 because it offers a fresh approach to tackling advanced cancer. Unlike traditional treatments that often target cancer cells broadly, BI 907828 works by specifically inhibiting a protein called MDM2. This protein is known to interact with and suppress the activity of p53, a critical protein for controlling cell growth and preventing tumor formation. By targeting MDM2, BI 907828 aims to restore the natural cancer-fighting abilities of p53, potentially leading to better outcomes for patients with fewer side effects.
What evidence suggests that BI 907828 might be an effective treatment for advanced cancer?
Research has shown that brigimadlin (BI 907828), the investigational treatment in this trial, targets a protein called MDM2, which contributes to cancer cell growth. In early studies, brigimadlin produced promising results, with 11.1% of patients experiencing tumor shrinkage. It also controlled the disease in 74.1% of patients by halting tumor growth. These results were particularly encouraging for patients with certain types of well-differentiated tumors. Overall, brigimadlin appears to be a potential new cancer treatment, but further research is needed to confirm these findings.13678
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with various advanced solid tumors who have progressed after prior treatments or have no standard treatment options can join. They must be willing to provide tissue samples and undergo regular health checks. Those with specific genetic tumor profiles (TP53 wild type, MDM2-amplified) are eligible for certain study phases.Inclusion Criteria
