Atirmociclib for Healthy Subjects
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to understand how different doses of a new medicine, atirmociclib, behave in the body when taken with food. It seeks healthy men and women with a body weight over 110 pounds and a BMI between 17.5 and 30.5. Participants will help researchers determine the safety and processing of different doses of the medication. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
You may need to stop taking certain medications if they strongly affect specific liver enzymes (CYP3A4 or UGT2B7) up to 28 days before the trial starts. Otherwise, the protocol does not specify stopping other medications.
Is there any evidence suggesting that atirmociclib is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that atirmociclib is still under study to determine its safety and tolerability. As this is an early-stage study, the primary goal is to assess the safety of atirmociclib at various doses in humans. Limited information is available, so it is normal to have uncertainties about side effects and individual reactions.
Participants in such studies help researchers identify any side effects, which are unexpected effects that can occur with a new medicine. So far, no serious safety issues have been reported, but more information will emerge as the study progresses.
By joining, participants contribute to researchers' understanding of atirmociclib and its safety. It is important to recognize that all new treatments involve some uncertainties, and participants' health will be closely monitored throughout the study.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Atirmociclib is unique because it targets CDK9, a protein involved in regulating cell cycle progression and transcription. Most existing treatments for conditions involving abnormal cell growth focus on other targets, like CDK4/6, making Atirmociclib a novel approach. Researchers are excited about its potential to offer a more precise and effective treatment by interfering with different cellular processes. Additionally, the higher drug load IR MST tablet form could improve delivery and absorption, potentially enhancing its efficacy and reducing side effects compared to current options.
What evidence suggests that atirmociclib could be effective?
Research has shown that atirmociclib has potential based on early lab studies, where it helped fight tumors and worked well with other cancer treatments. This drug specifically targets a protein called CDK4, which is involved in cell growth and division. Initial studies in patients with certain types of breast cancer found that atirmociclib, when used with hormone therapy, was safe and effective against the cancer. These results suggest that atirmociclib could be a promising option for treating cancers that depend on CDK4 for growth. This trial will study different doses of atirmociclib in healthy subjects to further understand its safety and pharmacokinetics.25678
