BMS-986435 for Healthy Adults
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests new tablet forms of a treatment called BMS-986435 to evaluate their effectiveness compared to the original version. Researchers aim to determine if food intake affects the treatment's efficacy. The trial includes several groups, each testing a different tablet version. Individuals who are generally healthy, have stable heart function, and meet specific weight and body mass criteria may qualify for this study. 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 this new treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether 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 this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that BMS-986435 has undergone safety testing in several studies. Participants in these studies received either a single dose or multiple doses of the drug. Most did not experience serious side effects, indicating that the treatment was generally well-tolerated. Some reported mild side effects, but these were uncommon.
Additionally, this treatment has been studied in individuals with heart conditions, focusing on safety and the body's reaction to the drug. These studies also found BMS-986435 to be well-tolerated, with few negative effects. This suggests that the treatment is likely safe for most clinical trial participants.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
BMS-986435 is unique because it offers a fresh approach to treatment with its novel mechanism of action. Unlike current options that rely on conventional pathways, BMS-986435 targets an innovative pathway that could lead to more effective results. Researchers are excited about its potential to work faster and more efficiently, possibly reducing the time needed to see improvements. This new angle could offer significant benefits over standard treatments, making it a promising option for future care.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective?
Research has shown that BMS-986435 may help treat heart conditions, particularly Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). Early studies suggest this drug aids the heart muscle in relaxing and functioning better, potentially reducing symptoms for those with HFpEF. Patients who previously used BMS-986435 demonstrated improvements in heart function. This trial will test various treatment arms to assess BMS-986435's safety, effectiveness, and mechanism in the body. While specific results in humans are still being gathered, these early findings are promising.56789
