RNDO-564 + Pembrolizumab for Bladder Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment called RNDO-564, both alone and with pembrolizumab, for individuals with advanced solid tumors, including certain bladder cancers. The main goal is to assess the safety of RNDO-564 and determine the optimal dose by monitoring side effects. Researchers also aim to evaluate the treatment's effectiveness by measuring if and how long it can halt cancer growth or spread. Participants should have advanced cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments, including types like urothelial cancer or non-small cell lung cancer. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that RNDO-564 has promising safety results in early studies. Designed to attack cancer cells by targeting specific markers, it helps protect healthy cells and may reduce side effects.
Less information exists about the safety of using RNDO-564 with pembrolizumab. However, pembrolizumab is already approved for treating other cancers, so its safety profile is well understood. The goal of combining both drugs is to improve treatment effectiveness.
This trial is in an early stage and primarily aims to identify any side effects and determine the safest dose levels for RNDO-564, both alone and with pembrolizumab. This phase is crucial to ensure the treatment's safety for people.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about RNDO-564, especially when combined with pembrolizumab, because it offers a potential breakthrough in treating bladder cancer. Unlike standard treatments like chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors, RNDO-564 may introduce a novel mechanism of action targeting cancer cells more precisely, potentially enhancing the immune response. This unique approach could lead to more effective and less toxic treatments compared to current options, which often have significant side effects. By optimizing dose levels both as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab, this treatment aims to boost efficacy and patient outcomes, offering hope for those with bladder cancer.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for bladder cancer?
This trial will evaluate RNDO-564, a new type of antibody, both as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab for bladder cancer. Studies have shown that RNDO-564 can stop tumors from growing in mice, both alone and when combined with pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab is already known to help some bladder cancer patients live longer. The combination of RNDO-564 with pembrolizumab might strengthen the body's immune response against tumors. Early results in animals are promising, suggesting this combination could be a powerful new way to treat cancer.36789
