DS9051b for Adrenal and Prostate Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called DS9051b for individuals with advanced adrenal or prostate cancer that has spread. The main goal is to determine if DS9051b is safe and shows any early signs of effectiveness in treating these cancers. Individuals diagnosed with adrenal or prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy and have tried other treatments might be suitable candidates for this trial. Participants must be able to swallow tablets and have no other major health issues that could interfere with the trial. 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 treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on systemic corticosteroids or have certain medical conditions, you may need to adjust your treatment. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that DS9051b is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that DS9051b is a new treatment under testing for certain advanced cancers, such as adrenocortical carcinoma and prostate cancer. This study is in its first phase, focusing primarily on the safety and tolerability of DS9051b. Due to the early stage, information on patient responses remains limited. However, researchers closely monitor for any side effects or issues. This step is crucial to ensure the treatment's safety before advancing to further testing.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about DS9051b because it offers a novel approach for treating advanced or metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Unlike current treatments, which often include chemotherapy and hormone therapy, DS9051b targets the cancer cells in a new way, potentially offering a more effective solution with fewer side effects. Its unique mechanism of action gives hope for better outcomes where existing therapies might fall short. This innovative approach is what makes DS9051b stand out as a promising option in the fight against these challenging cancers.
What evidence suggests that DS9051b might be an effective treatment for adrenal and prostate cancer?
Research is investigating DS9051b as a new treatment for difficult-to-treat cancers, such as adrenocortical carcinoma and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Participants in this trial will receive DS9051b. Although limited data from human trials exist, this drug targets specific parts of cancer cells, potentially stopping their growth. Early signs from studies suggest that DS9051b could be effective by interfering with cancer cell functions. This treatment aims to offer hope by directly addressing cancer growth. More information will become available as research progresses.13567
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults over 18 with advanced or metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) or castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), who have tried at least one chemotherapy line. Participants must be able to swallow tablets, not have significant heart disease, uncontrolled autoimmune diseases, active infections that contraindicate steroids, CNS metastases requiring treatment, or unresolved toxicities from prior cancer therapy.Inclusion Criteria
