GSK5733584 for Cancer
(BEHOLD-1 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the safety and tolerability of different doses of a new drug, GSK5733584, for certain types of cancer. It targets individuals with advanced solid tumors who have not responded to other treatments. There are two main groups: one for those with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and another for those with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Participants should have ongoing issues after standard treatments, such as chemotherapy, and a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. This trial offers those struggling with these specific cancers a chance to explore a new treatment option. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, providing 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 that you stop taking any cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs, anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicines, or other anti-tumor drugs at least 28 days before starting the study drug. If you need to continue these medications, you cannot participate in the trial.
Is there any evidence suggesting that GSK5733584 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that GSK5733584 is generally safe based on earlier studies. One study with Chinese patients who had recurring or spreading cancers demonstrated early signs of tumor reduction and considered GSK5733584 safe, as it did not cause major harmful effects. This treatment is a type of targeted therapy called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), designed to attack cancer cells directly.
The current trial remains in the early stages, and researchers are still collecting safety information. However, the earlier study suggests that the treatment is usually well-tolerated. Participants in that trial did not report serious side effects, which is a positive indicator for safety. It is important to remember that this treatment is still under investigation, and more information will help confirm its safety for a larger group of people.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about GSK5733584 for cancer because it offers a fresh approach to treating platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, GSK5733584 targets cancer cells with a novel mechanism that may overcome resistance to existing therapies. This specificity could lead to more effective results and fewer side effects, offering new hope for patients who haven't responded to standard treatments.
What evidence suggests that GSK5733584 might be an effective treatment for cancer?
Research has shown that GSK5733584 targets a protein called B7-H4, often found in large amounts on cancer cells. This drug acts like a guided missile, delivering cancer-fighting medicine directly to those cells. Early results suggest that this method might help treat advanced solid tumors by focusing more precisely on the cancer cells. In this trial, participants will receive GSK5733584 in either a dose escalation phase for those with advanced solid tumors or a dose expansion phase for those with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. Although researchers are still testing GSK5733584's effectiveness, its targeted approach offers hope for patients with cancers that are difficult to treat with current methods.35678
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with advanced solid tumors who've failed or can't tolerate standard treatments, have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, and are generally in stable condition (ECOG PS score of 0-2). They must have measurable cancer and provide tissue samples for biomarker analysis. Excluded are those with poor marrow or organ function, heart issues, certain ECG abnormalities, recent major surgeries or therapies.Inclusion Criteria
