[18F]LY4214835 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new drug, [18F]LY4214835, to evaluate its safety and tolerability. It involves two groups: one with cancer patients who either have not received major treatment or whose cancer has worsened after treatment, and another with healthy individuals. Participants with cancer must have a visible and measurable tumor. The drug is administered through an IV, and participation lasts about 35 days. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding 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 does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but it mentions that participants should not be actively receiving cancer therapy or be in between cycles of treatment.
Is there any evidence suggesting that [18F]LY4214835 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research on [18F]LY4214835 remains in the early stages, focusing on its safety for people. As a Phase 1 trial, the main goal is to assess the treatment's safety and tolerability. Although specific data from previous studies is unavailable, reaching this phase indicates initial confidence in its safety. Typically, Phase 1 trials proceed only if earlier tests suggest the treatment is not harmful. Participants will receive the treatment through an IV (a needle in a vein) and will be closely monitored for any side effects. The trial will help researchers gather more detailed safety information.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about [18F]LY4214835 for cancer because it uses a novel radioactive tracer to potentially improve the precision of detecting tumors. Unlike traditional treatments that mainly focus on shrinking or killing cancer cells, this approach aims to enhance imaging techniques, helping doctors pinpoint cancer more accurately. The intravenous administration of this tracer could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses, which is crucial for effective treatment planning. This innovative approach represents a shift from conventional methods, offering hope for more targeted and successful cancer management.
What evidence suggests that [18F]LY4214835 might be an effective treatment for cancer?
Research has shown that [18F]LY4214835, like other substances such as 18F-FDG, is used in PET/CT scans to help doctors assess cancer activity. In previous studies, these scans changed treatment plans for about a third of patients, highlighting their potential impact. The scans offer important insights into cancer aggressiveness by observing sugar usage. Although direct data on [18F]LY4214835 is limited, it is expected to function similarly, providing valuable information about cancer traits. This can help doctors make more informed treatment decisions. Participants in this trial will receive [18F]LY4214835 to evaluate its effectiveness in providing such insights.16789
