SLV-154 for Advanced Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to test the safety and effectiveness of a new treatment called SLV-154, a potential drug for people with advanced cancer that has spread. Researchers are exploring different doses of SLV-154 to determine the best and safest amount for patients. This trial suits individuals whose cancer has continued to grow despite previous treatments and have tumors measurable by scans. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive it.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot use certain drugs that affect liver enzymes (CYP3A4 or CYP1A2) or drugs that prolong the QT interval (a heart rhythm measure) before starting the study.
Is there any evidence suggesting that SLV-154 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that SLV-154 is being tested in early studies to assess its safety for treating advanced cancer. This is a Phase 1 study, aiming to evaluate patient tolerance and determine the appropriate dose. This phase typically involves a small number of participants and prioritizes safety over efficacy.
As SLV-154 remains in early testing, detailed safety information is not widely available. However, Phase 1 studies are designed to closely monitor patients for side effects and ensure the treatment's safety. Although the treatment is experimental, participants will be carefully observed for any potential side effects.
If SLV-154 demonstrates positive results and is well-tolerated in these initial studies, it may proceed to further testing. Participants in this study will help researchers understand how the treatment functions in the body and identify possible side effects.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about SLV-154 because it targets advanced cancer differently than current treatments. Unlike traditional chemotherapy and radiation, which attack both cancerous and healthy cells, SLV-154 is designed to hone in on tumor cells specifically, potentially reducing side effects. Additionally, SLV-154's unique mechanism of action involves a novel pathway that may enhance the body's immune response against cancer. This targeted approach not only promises to be more effective but also aims to improve the quality of life for patients by minimizing collateral damage to healthy tissues.
What evidence suggests that SLV-154 might be an effective treatment for advanced cancer?
Initial findings suggest that SLV-154 may help treat advanced solid tumors by boosting the body's immune response against cancer cells. Research has shown that this treatment strengthens the body's natural defenses, enhancing its ability to find and destroy cancer cells. Although detailed information on its effectiveness remains limited, early studies are promising. This trial tests SLV-154 at different doses to determine the safest and most effective amount. The treatment aims to shrink tumors, and early signs are hopeful. Ongoing research will provide more definitive results.12367
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults over 18 with certain metastatic solid tumors (like cancers of the head, neck, lung, breast, cervix, endometrium, ovary or bladder) can join this trial. They should be relatively active and able to care for themselves (ECOG status 0-2).Inclusion Criteria
