What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called INCB186748 for individuals with advanced or spreading solid tumors, specifically those with the KRAS G12D mutation. The main goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of INCB186748, either alone or combined with other drugs, at various dose levels. Individuals who have not improved with standard treatments for pancreatic or colorectal cancer, or who cannot undergo such treatments, might be suitable candidates. 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 it.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

Is there any evidence suggesting that INCB186748 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research shows that the safety of INCB186748 is still being explored. Since this trial is in its early stages, complete safety information is not yet available. However, the trial is designed to carefully monitor safety issues and side effects. In early studies, individuals can react differently to treatments. Participants in this trial will be closely monitored for any negative reactions, allowing for quick management of potential risks. It is important to consult a healthcare provider to understand what this might mean personally. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about INCB186748 for solid tumors because it uses a unique mechanism of action that sets it apart from traditional chemotherapy and targeted therapies, which often focus on rapidly dividing cells or specific genetic mutations. INCB186748 targets specific pathways involved in cancer cell growth and survival, potentially offering a more precise approach to treatment. This specificity could mean fewer side effects and improved effectiveness compared to standard treatments like chemotherapy. Additionally, the trial is exploring how food affects the drug's absorption, which could optimize how the drug is administered and enhance patient outcomes.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for advanced or metastatic solid tumors with KRAS G12D mutation?

Research has shown that INCB186748 targets tumors with a specific mutation called KRAS G12D, common in many advanced cancers. In a study involving 155 patients with advanced solid tumors, those in better health lived an average of 9.1 months. This finding suggests the drug might be promising, particularly for individuals in good overall health. In this trial, participants will receive INCB186748 either as monotherapy or in combination with other treatments. Combination therapies, including drugs like INCB186748, have helped many cancer patients live longer. This offers hope that INCB186748 could be effective both alone and in combination with other treatments. ^{1 3 4 6 7}

Published Research Related to This Trial

A meta-analysis of 60 studies involving 35,020 patients found that immunotherapy significantly improves overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with ECOG performance status 0 or 1, indicating its effectiveness across these groups.

The benefits of immunotherapy were consistent across various treatment settings and types, suggesting that immune checkpoint inhibitors and combinations are effective regardless of the patient's initial performance status.

The impact of ECOG performance status on efficacy of immunotherapy and immune-based combinations in cancer patients: the MOUSEION-06 study. Mollica, V., Rizzo, A., Marchetti, A., et al.[2023]

In a study of 155 patients with advanced solid tumors, those with a better performance status (ECOG PS 0-1) had a median overall survival (OS) of 9.1 months, compared to only 2.9 months for those with poorer performance status (ECOG PS 2-4), indicating that performance status significantly impacts treatment outcomes with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

Despite having a poor performance status, 27.3% of patients in the study were still alive after one year, and the treatment was generally well-tolerated, with 84.6% of patients experiencing no severe toxicities, suggesting that ICIs can be a safe and effective option for this patient group.

Cadonilimab, a bispecific PD-1/CTLA-4 antibody, demonstrated a manageable safety profile with 28% of patients experiencing grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events, indicating it can be safely administered to patients with advanced solid tumors.

In a phase 2 trial, cadonilimab showed promising antitumor activity, with an objective response rate of 32.3% in cervical cancer patients, suggesting its potential effectiveness in treating advanced solid tumors.

Combining immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with signal transduction inhibitors, like antiangiogenic therapies, has shown enhanced antitumor activity in various solid tumors, leading to regulatory approvals for treatments in cancers such as endometrial and kidney cancer.

Despite these advancements, many patients still experience disease progression after combination treatments, highlighting the need for new strategies to overcome resistance to immunotherapy, which has prompted the development of consensus definitions for resistance to multiagent ICI combinations.

Pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, has received accelerated FDA approval for treating both adult and pediatric patients with solid tumors that are mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high.

This approval marks a significant milestone as it is the first instance where the FDA has approved a cancer treatment based on a common biomarker rather than the specific type of tumor.

Immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors, has significantly improved treatment outcomes for high-risk resectable and metastatic melanoma, showcasing its effectiveness across various cancer types.

The success of immunotherapy in melanoma has led to its approval and evaluation in other solid tumors, indicating a broader application of these therapies in both early and advanced stages of cancer.

Targeted and immunological therapies have significantly improved survival rates in patients with solid tumors, demonstrating the effectiveness of treatments that focus on specific genetic and immunological changes in tumors.

Current clinical trials are exploring the optimal timing and sequencing of these therapies, which include various approved agents for cancers like prostate, breast, lung, and melanoma, indicating a shift towards more personalized cancer treatment strategies.

In a study of 578 patients with various solid tumors treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, the Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) was found to be a strong predictor of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), with median OS of 22.8 months for good LIPI compared to only 2.5 months for poor LIPI.

The findings suggest that LIPI may be applicable beyond non-small cell lung cancer, indicating its potential as a universal prognostic tool for patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors, regardless of tumor type.
