INCB099280 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial examines a new treatment, INCB099280, to assess its safety and effectiveness for individuals with certain advanced solid tumors. It includes various groups: those who haven't tried immunotherapy, those with specific tumor markers (such as MSI-H or dMMR), and those whose cancer has progressed despite previous treatments. Suitable candidates are individuals with solid tumors that cannot be surgically treated and have exhausted all standard therapies but still experience disease progression. 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 drug.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial requires a 28-day period without taking systemic antibiotics before starting the study drug. Probiotics are not allowed during the study and screening. For other medications, the protocol does not specify, so it's best to discuss with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that INCB099280 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that INCB099280 demonstrates promising safety results in studies with patients who have advanced solid tumors. These studies suggest that the treatment is generally well-tolerated at various doses. Most reported side effects were manageable and not severe. This ongoing research offers a positive outlook on the treatment’s safety for those considering joining a trial.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about INCB099280 for cancer because it represents a fresh approach to treating solid tumors. Unlike most current therapies that target broad cancer pathways, INCB099280 works by specifically modulating the immune environment to enhance the body's natural ability to fight cancer. This targeted action could potentially improve outcomes for patients who have not responded well to existing treatments, such as traditional chemotherapy or other immunotherapies like PD-1 inhibitors. With its innovative mode of action, INCB099280 holds promise for providing a new line of defense against difficult-to-treat cancers.
What evidence suggests that INCB099280 might be an effective treatment for cancer?
Research shows that INCB099280, a PD-L1 inhibitor, shows early promise in treating advanced solid tumors. Studies report that it may help control tumor growth. Importantly, researchers have found it to be generally safe, meaning most patients tolerate it well. Unlike some similar drugs, INCB099280 has not been linked to severe nerve damage, which is a positive sign. These findings encourage those considering joining the trial, where participants will join different cohorts based on their tumor characteristics and previous treatments.12346

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors who have tried all other treatments without success or can't tolerate them. They should be relatively healthy otherwise, able to perform daily activities with ease (ECOG score of 0-1), and not planning to conceive. People with heart issues, untreated brain metastases, active infections, or recent use of certain drugs can't join.Inclusion Criteria
