BMS-986506 for Kidney Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new drug, BMS-986506, for advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC), a type of kidney cancer. The main goal is to determine the drug's safety for people with this cancer type. The study consists of different parts, each focusing on participants who have previously tried other treatments. Individuals who have undergone kidney cancer treatments such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy might be suitable candidates. As a Phase 1 trial, the research aims 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 information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that BMS-986506 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that BMS-986506 is being tested for safety and tolerability in individuals with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). As this is the first human trial of BMS-986506, no prior safety information exists. Researchers aim to observe how participants respond to the treatment and identify potential side effects.
This study is in an early phase, focusing primarily on gathering initial safety data. Participants might experience side effects, though these are currently unknown. Monitoring safety will be crucial to ensure participants' well-being.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for kidney cancer?
Unlike the standard treatments for kidney cancer, which often involve surgery, immunotherapy, or targeted therapies like tyrosine kinase inhibitors, BMS-986506 is unique because it introduces a novel mechanism of action. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it targets specific pathways in cancer cells that current therapies do not, potentially offering a new approach to tackling the disease. By focusing on these unique pathways, BMS-986506 could provide an effective alternative for patients who do not respond well to existing treatments, offering hope for improved outcomes.
What evidence suggests that BMS-986506 might be an effective treatment for kidney cancer?
Research shows that BMS-986506 is a new treatment being tested for advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer. This study marks the first time it has been tried in humans, so its effectiveness for this condition remains unknown. Participants will receive BMS-986506 in different study phases, such as Part 1A, Part 2A, or Part 2B. The main goal is to determine if people can take it safely without major side effects. Although data on its effectiveness is not yet available, researchers are hopeful because the treatment targets specific parts of cancer cells. This targeting could potentially slow down or stop cancer growth.12367
