Capivasertib for Healthy Subjects
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to determine how capivasertib, an experimental treatment, affects the body's processing of rosuvastatin, a drug commonly used to lower cholesterol. Participants will first take rosuvastatin alone, then both drugs together, to compare the effects. Individuals in good health, with no major medical issues, who do not smoke and have normal blood test results, are suitable for this study. The trial focuses on understanding drug interactions to enhance treatment plans. As a Phase 1 trial, the research seeks to understand 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 if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, since the study is for healthy participants and involves assessing drug interactions, it's possible that you may need to pause some medications. Please consult with the study team for specific guidance.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that capivasertib has been tested on many patients, with its safety well-documented. In one study, about 10% of patients stopped taking capivasertib due to side effects. However, approximately 39% of patients paused their treatment, usually because of milder side effects.
Capivasertib has been used with other drugs, such as fulvestrant, and its safety was consistent across different groups, including a group from China. No unexpected safety issues emerged when capivasertib was combined with another drug.
Although capivasertib has been extensively studied, this trial is in its early stages (Phase 1), focusing primarily on safety. The researchers are still gathering safety information. However, existing data suggests the treatment is generally well-tolerated in other settings.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Capivasertib is unique because it targets a specific pathway called the AKT pathway, which plays a crucial role in cell growth and survival. Unlike other treatments that might not target this pathway, Capivasertib's mechanism of action offers a new angle for tackling conditions related to this pathway. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it could potentially improve outcomes by directly interfering with the growth signals of abnormal cells, offering new hope where traditional therapies may have limitations.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective?
Research has shown that Capivasertib affects how the body processes other drugs, such as rosuvastatin. In this trial, participants will first receive a single dose of rosuvastatin, followed by a combination of Capivasertib and rosuvastatin after a washout period. Studies with healthy individuals found that Capivasertib alters the absorption, distribution, and elimination of rosuvastatin. Although this study focuses on healthy participants, Capivasertib has demonstrated significant benefits in other conditions, such as prolonging the time cancer patients live without disease progression when combined with other treatments. This suggests that Capivasertib can work well with other drugs and might offer benefits when used with rosuvastatin. However, as this is an early study, the primary goal is to understand how these two drugs interact in the body.678910
