SW-682 for Solid Tumors
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment, SW-682, for individuals with advanced solid tumors, such as mesothelioma, that have not responded to standard therapies. The trial aims to determine the optimal dosage for this drug, with participants taking it in 28-day cycles. Various groups are included to assess the treatment's effectiveness with different genetic changes in tumors, including mutations in the NF2 or Hippo pathways. Ideal candidates are those whose cancer has not improved with other treatments and have specific tumor mutations identified in previous tests. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new drug.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires you to stop taking certain medications that affect specific liver enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP1A2, etc.) and other drug transporters at least 14 days before starting the study treatment. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team to see if any need to be paused.
Is there any evidence suggesting that SW-682 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that SW-682 is under study to determine its safety and effectiveness in treating advanced solid tumors. Since this is the first human trial of SW-682, information about its safety remains limited. The main goal of this Phase 1 trial is to identify a safe dose and assess tolerability. Phase 1 trials typically involve small groups, allowing researchers to closely monitor side effects and understand the body's response to the drug.
Participants take SW-682 tablets orally every 28 days. The trial adjusts doses to determine a safe and effective amount. Researchers closely observe participants' responses to the treatment. Some side effects may occur, which is normal as they learn more about the drug's effects in humans.
If SW-682 is well-tolerated and shows positive results, it may advance to further studies focusing on efficacy. Until then, the information collected in this trial will be crucial for understanding its safety.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about SW-682 for treating solid tumors because it targets the Hippo pathway, which is often involved in tumor growth, making it a novel approach compared to standard chemotherapy and radiation. Unlike traditional treatments, SW-682 specifically addresses genetic mutations such as NF2, potentially offering more personalized and effective therapy. Additionally, SW-682 is administered orally, which could improve patient convenience and adherence compared to treatments that require intravenous administration.
What evidence suggests that SW-682 could be an effective treatment for advanced solid tumors?
Research has shown that targeting the Hippo pathway might help treat certain solid tumors. This pathway controls cell growth and survival, and issues with it are linked to cancer. In mesothelioma, about 30% to 40% of cases involve changes in the NF2 gene, part of this pathway. SW-682, the investigational treatment in this trial, targets these changes. Participants will receive SW-682 to address these specific genetic mutations, potentially slowing tumor growth. Although human studies have provided limited information, this trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of SW-682 in targeting these mutations.12367
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have not improved or worsened after cancer treatments like chemo, immunotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy. It's also open to those who can't tolerate standard care or have no other options left. Participants must have specific genetic changes in their tumors and be willing to take a new oral medication.Inclusion Criteria
