What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to test a new treatment, BMS-986365 (also known as CC-94676 or Gridegalutamide), to assess its safety and how the body processes it. The study will evaluate different doses and determine whether eating affects the drug's absorption. It is specifically for healthy men without significant illnesses or heart issues, and participants should have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 32. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the unique opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?

The protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but since the trial is for healthy subjects, you likely shouldn't be on any significant medications.

Is there any evidence suggesting that BMS-986365 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that BMS-986365 was well-tolerated in earlier studies. The treatment maintained a manageable safety profile for patients who had previously undergone numerous treatments. This indicates that any side effects were generally easy to handle, particularly with dosage adjustments. Overall, these studies reported that BMS-986365 is safe for humans. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

BMS-986365 is unique because it offers a new approach compared to existing treatments by potentially targeting mechanisms not addressed by current options. Researchers are excited about BMS-986365 because it may have different dosing regimens and formulations that could improve patient outcomes or convenience. This treatment could provide alternative strategies for managing conditions that current therapies, such as traditional medications or biological agents, might not fully address.

What evidence suggests that BMS-986365 could be effective?

Studies have shown that BMS-986365, an oral drug, is generally safe and well-tolerated. Research indicates it targets androgen receptors, which are involved in conditions like prostate cancer. Early findings suggest it can effectively slow tumor growth. In previous studies with patients who have advanced prostate cancer, BMS-986365 demonstrated promising results in fighting tumors. Although the current trial primarily evaluates different dosages and formulations of BMS-986365 in healthy subjects, these results offer hope for its potential in treating certain cancers. ^{1 3 5 6 7}

Published Research Related to This Trial

BMS-955176 is a second-generation HIV-1 maturation inhibitor that shows potent activity against a wide range of HIV-1 variants, with an effective concentration (EC50) of 3.9 nM against engineered viruses and 21 nM against clinical isolates, indicating its strong potential as a treatment option.

This compound works by inhibiting HIV-1 protease cleavage at a critical site in the virus's replication cycle and has shown no antagonistic interactions with other antiretroviral drugs, suggesting it could be effectively combined with existing therapies.

BMS-275183, a new oral cancer treatment, was found to be generally well tolerated, with a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) established at 200 mg/m2, primarily due to side effects like peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, and neutropenia.

The drug showed promising antitumor activity, with tumor responses observed in 9 out of 38 patients with various cancers, leading to the initiation of a phase II trial specifically for non-small cell lung cancer.

In a study involving 2117 participants treated with semaglutide 2.4 mg for 68 weeks, gastrointestinal adverse events (AEs) like nausea and diarrhea were more common than in the placebo group, but these AEs were mostly mild and transient, with only 4.3% of participants discontinuing treatment due to them.

Weight loss with semaglutide was significant and similar in participants with and without GI AEs, indicating that the weight loss effects of semaglutide are largely independent of these gastrointestinal side effects.

Both antagonists effectively induced apoptosis in tumor cells, as evidenced by a 70% reduction in the Bcl-2:Bax ratio and a significant decrease in VEGF and PKC-alpha levels, suggesting their potential as effective treatments for glioblastomas.

BMS-986001 was found to be safe and well tolerated in a study involving 64 healthy male subjects, with no serious adverse events reported and only 14.6% experiencing mild adverse effects that were not dose-related.

In a phase II trial involving 31 patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, glufosfamide demonstrated modest toxicity but did not show significant clinical antitumor activity, with no objective responses observed.

Only one patient (3%) remained progression-free at 6 months, indicating that glufosfamide may not be an effective treatment option for this type of brain cancer.

MK-5046, a selective agonist for the BRS-3 receptor, was found to be safe and tolerable in a study involving healthy and obese male volunteers, with doses ranging from 10 to 160 mg.

The drug caused transient increases in blood pressure and some mild side effects, such as feelings of warmth and erections, but did not significantly affect hunger or glucose levels, indicating its potential for further exploration in obesity treatment.

BMS-181101, a new antidepressant, was well tolerated in a study involving 12 healthy male volunteers, showing that it can be safely administered with or without food.

When taken with food, BMS-181101 had a 25% reduction in peak concentration (Cmax) and a 1-hour delay in the time to reach peak concentration (tmax), but overall pharmacokinetic profiles, including steady state achievement, were not significantly affected.

SAR425899, a dual agonist for GLP-1R and GCR, was well tolerated in clinical trials, with gastrointestinal side effects being less severe in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy volunteers.

The treatment significantly lowered fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, and also resulted in notable weight loss in both healthy volunteers (up to 5.32 kg) and patients with type 2 diabetes (up to 5.46 kg) compared to placebo.

BMS-275183, an oral paclitaxel analogue, showed a significant decrease in peak drug concentration when taken with food, specifically a 39% reduction with a low-fat meal and a 63% reduction with a high-fat meal, but overall drug exposure remained unchanged.

The study suggests that BMS-275183 can be administered using a flat fixed dose rather than adjusting for body surface area, simplifying dosing while maintaining safety, as it was well tolerated with only a few cases of severe toxicity.

Cilengitide, a cyclic peptide targeting integrins, shows potential as a treatment for glioblastoma, primarily through antiangiogenic effects, but its impact on glioma cell detachment and viability varies across different cell lines.

Preliminary clinical results suggest that cilengitide may enhance the effectiveness of temozolomide-based therapy in patients with specific genetic markers (MGMT promoter methylation), possibly by improving drug delivery to tumor cells rather than directly affecting cell death or migration.

Cilengitide (CGT) showed greater sensitivity in treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) compared to temozolomide (TMZ) in patient-derived cell lines, indicating its potential as a more effective treatment option.
