AMG 410 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment called AMG 410 for individuals with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have changes in the KRAS gene. The main goal is to determine the safety of AMG 410 and identify the appropriate dose, either alone or with other treatments. Researchers administer different doses to participants to observe their body's reactions, and the trial also examines the effect of food on the treatment. It suits those with KRAS-altered cancers, such as certain lung or colorectal cancers, who have no other treatment options. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how AMG 410 works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial requires that you stop any anti-tumor therapy at least 28 days before the first dose of the study treatment. Other medications are not specifically mentioned, so it's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Earlier research showed that AMG 410 has strong potential in fighting tumors, particularly in cancers with KRAS mutations. While this is encouraging, the current study remains in its early stages, so complete safety information is not yet available.
Researchers are testing AMG 410 in combination with pembrolizumab and panitumumab to determine safe and tolerable doses. Previous studies on similar drug combinations mostly reported mild side effects, but specific information for AMG 410 is still being collected.
As a Phase 1 trial, the main goal is to find the best dose with manageable side effects. While the treatment is being tested for safety, some unknowns remain. Participants should consider that this research is in its early stages when deciding whether to join the trial.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about AMG 410 because it targets KRAS mutations, which are found in several tough-to-treat cancers like non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Unlike the standard treatments that might include chemotherapy or targeted therapies like pembrolizumab and panitumumab, AMG 410 is designed to directly tackle these mutations, potentially offering a more precise attack on cancer cells. Additionally, the treatment explores various combinations with other drugs, such as pembrolizumab and panitumumab, which could enhance its effectiveness and broaden its use against advanced or metastatic cancers. This innovative approach could lead to more personalized and effective cancer treatment options.
What evidence suggests that AMG 410 could be an effective treatment for KRAS-altered tumors?
Research has shown that AMG 410 yields promising results in treating cancers with KRAS mutations. Early studies demonstrated its effectiveness against tumors, particularly solid ones with these mutations, such as non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. In this trial, participants will receive AMG 410 in various treatment arms. Some will receive AMG 410 alone, while others will receive it combined with treatments like pembrolizumab and panitumumab to assess its potential to enhance cancer-fighting effects. Initial signs are positive, but further research is necessary for confirmation. Overall, AMG 410 is under careful study for its potential to target and treat challenging KRAS-altered tumors.12346
