KT-333 for Lymphoma and Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called KT-333, designed for individuals with certain types of relapsed or hard-to-treat cancers, such as lymphomas and solid tumors. The main goal is to assess the safety and tolerability of KT-333 at various doses. The trial also examines how the body processes the drug. It suits those who have tried other treatments without success and have specific conditions like T-cell leukemia or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Participants should have a type of cancer that has returned or not responded to at least one or two prior treatments. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new therapy.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor to get a clear answer.
Is there any evidence suggesting that KT-333 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that KT-333 was well tolerated in earlier studies. Most side effects were mild, such as mouth sores and tiredness, and were mostly low-grade, meaning they were not severe. Two cases involved more serious side effects, known as dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), which help researchers determine safe dose levels. Overall, the early data suggest that KT-333 is fairly well-tolerated by patients.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Most treatments for lymphomas and solid tumors involve chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies like monoclonal antibodies. But KT-333 works differently, targeting specific proteins within cancer cells to disrupt their growth and survival. This approach is exciting because it offers a targeted mechanism of action that could potentially lead to fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy. Researchers are particularly interested in how KT-333 might be effective against various types of lymphomas and solid tumors, offering a new option for patients who might not respond well to current treatments.
What evidence suggests that KT-333 might be an effective treatment for lymphoma and cancer?
Research suggests that KT-333, the investigational treatment in this trial, could help treat certain cancers. Early clinical results showed that some patients with different blood cancers experienced complete responses to the treatment. Studies have found that KT-333 reduces the activity of a protein called STAT3, which contributes to cancer growth. This reduction appeared in both the blood and tumors of patients, and the treatment was generally well-tolerated. Laboratory tests also demonstrated that KT-333 could shrink tumors in certain T-cell lymphomas. Overall, these findings indicate that KT-333 might effectively treat various cancers, but further research is needed to confirm these results.13467

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with certain types of blood cancers or solid tumors that haven't responded to standard treatments can join this trial. They should have a specific level of white blood cells, be in fair health (ECOG 0-2), and women must use effective birth control. People with brain metastases, another active cancer besides lymphoma or solid tumors, recent transplants, or unresolved treatment side effects are excluded.Inclusion Criteria
