BGB-24714 + Combination Therapies for Solid Tumors
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new drug, BGB-24714, to determine its safety and tolerability in individuals with advanced solid tumors, such as certain lung or esophageal cancers. The study explores different methods of using the drug, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy or radiation therapy, to identify the optimal dose for future research. Individuals diagnosed with a solid tumor that has spread or cannot be removed, and who have not responded to standard treatments, might be suitable candidates for this trial. As a Phase 1 trial, the 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 protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications, you must have stopped them at least 14 days before starting the trial.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that the safety of BGB-24714 is still under exploration. Clear information about its safety, whether used alone or with other treatments, is not yet available. The trial is in an early stage, and researchers are beginning to understand how people tolerate it. This phase aims to determine the right dose that minimizes side effects. Detailed safety information is not yet available due to the trial's early phase. In past tests with similar early-stage drugs, some side effects have been common as researchers work to find the safest dose. Prospective participants should note that more information will emerge as the study progresses.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about BGB-24714 because it offers a fresh approach to treating solid tumors. Unlike traditional treatments such as chemotherapy, which often targets dividing cells indiscriminately, BGB-24714 may work by specifically engaging with certain pathways in tumor cells, potentially leading to more targeted effects. Its versatility is also notable, as it's being tested both as a standalone treatment and in combination with other therapies like chemoradiation and taxanes, which could enhance its effectiveness. This adaptability and the potential for more precise action make it a compelling candidate in the fight against solid tumors.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for solid tumors?
Research has shown that BGB-24714 could be a promising treatment for solid tumors. In earlier studies, BGB-24714 alone demonstrated a strong ability to fight tumors. Tumor growth slowed by 30%, 52%, and 73% at different dose levels, with higher doses proving more effective. In this trial, participants in the Phase 1a: Dose Escalation Part A arm will receive escalating doses of BGB-24714 as monotherapy.
In other arms, such as Phase 1a: Dose Escalation Part B, BGB-24714 will combine with paclitaxel, a chemotherapy drug. Early tests showed that this combination also has strong effects against tumors. These results suggest that BGB-24714, especially at higher doses or when combined with chemotherapy, may help slow or stop tumor growth.12367Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have grown or spread despite standard treatments, or when no treatment options are available. Participants must be in relatively good health and physical condition (ECOG ≤1), able to provide a tumor tissue sample, and not have had certain other cancers or major surgeries recently. They also can't be on steroids or similar meds within 14 days of starting the study.Inclusion Criteria
