XmAb24306 + Atezolizumab for Solid Tumors
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment, XmAb24306, alone or with atezolizumab (also known as Tecentriq), to determine their safety and effectiveness for individuals with serious solid tumors, such as those in the lungs or liver. The goal is to understand how these treatments work together against advanced cancers that have spread or cannot be cured with standard methods. Individuals with solid tumors that cannot be surgically removed or have spread may be suitable candidates for the trial. 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 treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but it does mention that participants on anticoagulants must have a stable regimen. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that Atezolizumab, one of the treatments in this trial, has been safe in many studies, and most people tolerate it well. However, no specific safety information exists from past studies about using XmAb24306 and Atezolizumab together. This is a Phase 1 trial, marking the first time this combination is tested in humans. The main goal is to assess safety and determine the correct dose. Participants should know that this phase aims to identify any side effects and understand how the body processes the treatment.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about XmAb24306 and atezolizumab for solid tumors because of their unique approach to cancer treatment. Unlike standard therapies that primarily focus on killing cancer cells directly, XmAb24306 is designed to activate and enhance the body's immune response against cancer cells. It works as a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different targets, potentially boosting the effectiveness of the immune system. By combining this with atezolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor that helps sustain the immune attack on cancer cells, this treatment aims to offer a more powerful and targeted option for patients with solid tumors. This dual action could lead to better outcomes by not only attacking the cancer more effectively but also by minimizing damage to healthy cells.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for solid tumors?
Studies have shown that atezolizumab effectively treats several types of cancer, such as bladder cancer and triple-negative breast cancer. It blocks a protein that helps tumors evade the immune system, enabling the body to attack cancer cells more effectively. Research indicates that XmAb24306 enhances the ability of certain immune cells, like T-cells and natural killer cells, to attack and kill cancer cells. This trial includes separate treatment arms where participants receive XmAb24306 alone or with atezolizumab. Together, XmAb24306 and atezolizumab might offer a stronger attack on tumors by boosting immune activity. Early evidence suggests that this combination could be a promising approach for treating solid tumors.678910

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors who are in fairly good health (ECOG 0 or 1), have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, and functioning major organs. They must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant. Participants should not have significant heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, active infections like TB or hepatitis B/C, autoimmune diseases, HIV, or a history of other cancers within the last three years.Inclusion Criteria
