PF-07220060 for Solid Cancers
(CDK4i Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment, PF-07220060 (Atirmociclib), for various solid cancers, with a focus on breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other tumor types. The researchers aim to assess the safety and tolerability of this treatment when used alone or with other therapies like endocrine therapy, which reduces hormones, and to determine the optimal dose. Individuals with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that no longer responds to current treatments, or those with prostate cancer resistant to standard therapies, may be suitable candidates. Participants should have tried other treatments that are no longer effective and must have specific types of measurable disease. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on evaluating the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of people.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you must be refractory (not responding) to or intolerant of existing therapies known to provide clinical benefit for your condition.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that PF-07220060, a new drug tested for treating solid cancers, generally maintains a good safety record. In studies, PF-07220060 alone has caused some side effects, but most were mild. Some patients experienced more serious issues like low blood platelets, particularly at higher doses.
When combined with fulvestrant, another cancer treatment, PF-07220060 was well-tolerated, with few blood-related side effects and rare need for dosage adjustments. Similarly, when paired with letrozole, patients handled the treatment well, and early data suggests it effectively fights cancer.
PF-07220060 combined with enzalutamide also maintained a good safety record. Most patients managed the combination well, and it showed promise in treating cancer. Overall, while some risks and side effects exist, the treatment has been generally well-received in previous studies.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about PF-07220060 because it targets solid cancer cells in a novel way, potentially offering new hope for patients. Unlike many standard treatments that focus on killing rapidly dividing cells, PF-07220060 works by inhibiting specific proteins involved in cancer cell growth and survival. This unique mechanism could mean fewer side effects and more effective targeting of cancer cells. Additionally, PF-07220060 is being tested both alone and in combination with other drugs like fulvestrant, letrozole, and enzalutamide, which could enhance its effectiveness and offer tailored treatment options for different cancer types.
What evidence suggests that PF-07220060 could be an effective treatment for solid cancers?
Studies suggest that PF-07220060, a drug targeting specific cancer cell growth, shows promise against certain solid tumors. In this trial, participants may receive PF-07220060 with letrozole, which has achieved a 58.8% overall response rate and a 94.1% clinical benefit rate in patients with hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer. Another trial arm involves PF-07220060 combined with fulvestrant, which has also shown positive effects, with patients experiencing good survival outcomes. Additionally, the combination with enzalutamide is being tested and is well-tolerated, showing strong responses in the same type of breast cancer. Although still under study, these early results highlight the potential effectiveness of PF-07220060 in different treatment combinations within this trial.46789

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors, including specific breast and prostate cancers, who have not responded to existing therapies. Participants must have a certain level of physical fitness (ECOG PS 0 or 1) and adequate organ function. They should not have received cancer treatment within the last 2 weeks or be pregnant/breastfeeding.Inclusion Criteria
