Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?

Adults (≥18 years) with advanced cancers like NSCLC, melanoma, NPC, mssCRC, or TNBC who have progressed after standard therapy or are intolerant to it. Participants must have measurable disease and be willing to undergo tumor biopsies. Excluded are those with significant heart issues, severe allergies to study drugs' ingredients, certain abnormal lab values, symptomatic CNS metastases or recent cardiac events.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of DKY709 alone and in combination with PDR001 for treating various advanced solid tumors. It's a phase I/Ib study that includes an initial dose escalation to find the maximum tolerated dose followed by expansion at this dose to further evaluate the treatments.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects aren't listed here, typical reactions may include immune-related inflammation in organs due to PDR001 (an immunotherapy), infusion reactions from either drug administration, fatigue from treatment burden on the body's resources and potential blood abnormalities.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What risks, if any, are associated with PDR001?

"As PDR001 is currently in its initial clinical trial, the safety score assigned to this medication was a 1. This indicates that there are only limited data supporting both efficacy and security."

Answered by AI

Is this experiment a pioneering endeavor in its field?

"Since its inception in 2011, PDR001 has been subject to many trials. The initial study was sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and yielded 185 participants. Subsequently the drug received approval for Phase 1 in 2011 and currently there are 27 active studies occurring across 122 urban areas and 35 nations."

Answered by AI

How many participants are presently being treated with this experimental protocol?

"Affirmative. The clinicaltrials.gov website supports the fact that this medical investigation is actively recruiting volunteers - it was first announced on May 7th 2019 and most recently updated on 26th of May 2022. This trial requires 380 participants to be recruited from three sites in total."

Answered by AI

Is there any existing research exploring the effects of PDR001?

"PDR001 was initially investigated by the UCLA School of Medicine in 2011. There have been 21 concluded studies and there are currently 27 trials still ongoing, with a substantial amount of these being conducted out of Nashville, Tennessee."

Answered by AI

Are there any new participants currently being accepted for this research project?

"Affirmative. According to the information hosted on clinicaltrials.gov, this research is actively seeking volunteers since it was initially announced on May 7th 2019 and last modified on May 26th 2022. 380 participants are needed for the study at 3 distinct sites."

Answered by AI

What is the end goal of this investigation?

"This 1 month clinical trial intends to assess the tolerability of DKY709 as a single agent or in combination with PDR001. The secondary objectives include determining the best overall response and measuring the area under curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) of both drugs being tested."
