BDTX-4933 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment called BDTX-4933 to determine its safety and effectiveness for individuals with specific types of advanced cancers. It targets patients with non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, histiocytic neoplasms, and other solid tumors, particularly those with certain gene mutations like KRAS, BRAF, or NRAS. Participants should have previously tried other treatments without success and have a type of cancer that meets the study criteria. The trial aims to identify the optimal dose of BDTX-4933 and evaluate its effectiveness against tumors. Participants will take the medication orally in cycles until they can no longer continue for various reasons. As a Phase 1 trial, this research seeks to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new drug.
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, ongoing anticancer therapy and radiation therapy are not allowed during the study.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that BDTX-4933 is still under investigation to determine its safety for people. In earlier studies, researchers examined how well participants tolerated this treatment and identified any short-term side effects. They continue to gather information to better understand its safety.
Since this trial is in its early stages, researchers are carefully determining the right dose and monitoring for any side effects. Although specific safety results are not yet available, early-stage trials like this one are designed to ensure safety before proceeding further.
Prospective participants should know that researchers are focused on understanding how well people tolerate BDTX-4933 and identifying potential side effects. This process helps ensure the treatment is as safe as possible for participants.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about BDTX-4933 because it represents a new approach to cancer treatment. Unlike typical cancer therapies that target specific proteins or pathways, BDTX-4933 is designed to inhibit a broad range of cancer-driving mutations, potentially making it effective against various tumor types. This versatility could provide a more personalized treatment option for patients whose cancers have not responded to existing therapies. Additionally, by targeting these mutations directly, BDTX-4933 may reduce the likelihood of cancer cells developing resistance, offering a longer-lasting response.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for cancer?
Research shows that BDTX-4933, the investigational treatment in this trial, may help treat cancers with certain genetic changes. Early studies found that it can slow tumor growth in cases with BRAF mutations, particularly in the brain. This drug blocks specific pathways in cancer cells, which can stop them from growing. In this trial, BDTX-4933 will be tested both as a monotherapy and in combination with other treatments. When combined with other treatments, targeting the MAPK pathway has yielded better results in hard-to-treat cancers like colorectal cancer. These findings suggest that BDTX-4933 could be effective for patients whose tumors have specific genetic profiles.26789
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with recurrent advanced/metastatic cancers that have specific mutations in the BRAF, KRAS (excluding G12C), or NRAS genes. This includes certain types of lung cancer, melanoma, thyroid cancer, colorectal cancer and other solid tumors. Participants must have tried standard treatments without success and should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.Inclusion Criteria
