BGB-A3055 + Tislelizumab for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment combination for individuals with certain advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded well to standard therapies. The goal is to determine the treatment's safety, how the body processes it, and its effectiveness against cancer. Participants will receive varying doses of BGB-A3055 (an experimental treatment) alone or with another drug, tislelizumab (an immunotherapy), to identify the safest and most effective dosage. This study suits those with tumors confirmed by a doctor who have not received treatments targeting a specific protein called CCR8. 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 therapy.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. However, since the trial involves testing new cancer treatments, it's possible that some medications might need to be adjusted. Please consult with the trial coordinators for specific guidance.
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 to get a clear answer.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that Tislelizumab, part of the treatment under study, has been used in other cancer treatments and is generally considered safe. Most individuals tolerate it without major issues. However, specific safety information for using Tislelizumab with BGB-A3055 is not yet available.
Regarding BGB-A3055 alone, limited information exists from human studies as it remains in early development. Safety data is still being collected. This early-phase study primarily focuses on assessing the safety and tolerability of the combination. Safety is closely monitored and evaluated.
Participants considering this study should be aware that while Tislelizumab has a history of manageable safety, the combination with BGB-A3055 is still under careful investigation for potential side effects.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about BGB-A3055 and tislelizumab because they offer a novel approach to cancer treatment. Unlike standard therapies that often target the cancer directly, BGB-A3055 and tislelizumab work by enhancing the body's immune response against cancer cells. BGB-A3055 is designed to inhibit specific pathways that tumors use to grow and spread, while tislelizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer. This combination could potentially lead to more effective and targeted cancer treatments with fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for cancer?
Research has shown that BGB-A3055 is a new antibody targeting a protein called CCR8 on certain immune cells, potentially aiding the immune system in attacking cancer cells. In lab studies, BGB-A3055 proved very effective against these cells. In this trial, some participants will receive BGB-A3055 alone to determine appropriate dosage levels. Others will receive BGB-A3055 combined with Tislelizumab, a treatment known to help some cancer patients live longer, to explore potential enhanced outcomes. Tislelizumab helps the immune system recognize and fight cancer cells. Together, these treatments aim to boost the body's natural ability to fight tumors. Early results are promising, but ongoing studies will provide more information.12346

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have tried all standard treatments or can't tolerate them, and haven't been treated for CCR8 before. They must be relatively healthy (ECOG ≤1), have measurable disease, provide tumor tissue samples, and not have had any other cancer in the last 3 years except the one being studied.Inclusion Criteria
