Adagrasib for Healthy Subjects
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests how two versions of the drug adagrasib compare in healthy adults. The goal is to determine if the new high drug load tablets perform as well as the existing ones. Participants should be generally healthy, without major medical conditions, and weigh at least 50 kg (about 110 pounds). The study seeks individuals with no significant health issues affecting the heart, lungs, or digestion. 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 formulation.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinator or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that adagrasib is likely to be safe for humans?
Previous studies have shown that adagrasib maintains a consistent safety profile. Research indicates no new safety issues have emerged, and the side effects remain similar to those observed earlier. In trials with cancer patients, some experienced side effects, but these were generally manageable.
This trial is in an early phase, focusing on safety in healthy adults for the first time. Researchers aim to determine how well people can tolerate the drug and identify potential side effects. Since adagrasib is already used in other settings, such as certain cancer treatments, there is some confidence in its safety. However, more data will be collected to ensure its safety in healthy individuals.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about Adagrasib because it offers a novel approach to targeting cancer. Unlike most current treatments that work by broadly attacking cancer cells, Adagrasib specifically targets a mutation in the KRAS gene, which is frequently found in various cancers. This precision targeting could potentially lead to fewer side effects and more effective treatment outcomes. Adagrasib's mechanism of action represents a significant advancement compared to traditional chemotherapy and radiation, which can harm healthy cells along with cancerous ones.
What evidence suggests that adagrasib might be an effective treatment?
Research has shown that adagrasib may help treat cancers with a specific change in the KRAS G12C gene. In non-small-cell lung cancer, nearly half of the patients experienced tumor shrinkage, with a confirmed response rate of 42.9%. The treatment also extended the time patients lived without their cancer worsening. Another study found that adagrasib controlled cancer growth in 90% of patients, indicating it can effectively manage the disease. These findings suggest that adagrasib could be a promising option for targeting KRAS G12C mutations in cancer. In this trial, healthy subjects will receive adagrasib in different sequences to further evaluate its effects.678910
