LY4257496 for Cancer
(OMNIRAY Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called LY4257496 to determine its safety and effectiveness for certain advanced cancers. It targets cancers with a specific protein called GRPR, such as certain types of breast, colorectal, prostate, and endometrial cancers. The trial includes different groups; some will receive LY4257496 alone, while others will receive it alongside standard cancer treatments. Suitable candidates have GRPR-positive cancer that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. Participants must manage regular hospital visits and tests throughout the trial. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding 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 information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you have HIV, you must be on a stable antiretroviral therapy regimen without changes for at least 4 weeks before starting the trial.
Is there any evidence suggesting that LY4257496 is likely to be safe for humans?
Previous studies have tested LY4257496 for human safety. As this trial is in its early stages, the main goal is to assess how well participants tolerate the treatment and identify potential side effects. Consequently, there is limited safety information from other studies.
In these early trials, participants have reported some side effects, usually mild. The treatment targets specific cancer cells and is generally considered safe, though it requires careful monitoring. Since testing is still in its early phase, the treatment's safety continues to be evaluated. More data will help determine its efficacy and safety for a broader population.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for cancer?
Researchers are excited about LY4257496 because it offers a novel approach to cancer treatment. Unlike standard therapies that often target cancer cells broadly, LY4257496 is designed to act more precisely, potentially minimizing damage to healthy cells. Additionally, LY4257496 is administered intravenously, which may allow for better control over dosage and absorption compared to oral medications. This targeted mechanism and delivery method could lead to more effective outcomes with fewer side effects, sparking optimism among researchers.
What evidence suggests that LY4257496 might be an effective treatment for GRPR-positive advanced cancers?
Research has shown that LY4257496 targets a specific part of many cancer cells called the Gastrin-releasing Peptide Receptor (GRPR). This receptor is present in cancers such as breast, colorectal, prostate, and endometrial. Since GRPR is involved in cell growth, blocking it might slow or stop cancer growth. Early studies suggest that LY4257496 may interfere with signals that promote cancer cell growth. Although detailed information from human studies remains limited, the mechanism of this treatment shows promise for combating these cancers. Initial results are encouraging, but further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness. Participants in this trial will receive LY4257496 in various treatment arms, including dose escalation and optimization, as well as in combination with standard care therapies.12567

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced breast, colorectal, prostate, or endometrial cancer that tests positive for GRPR. Participants should be able to receive standard cancer treatments and commit up to 36 weeks in the study unless their tumor worsens.Inclusion Criteria
