BGB-58067 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-58067 (a PRMT5 inhibitor), to determine its safety and effectiveness in treating advanced solid tumors lacking the enzyme MTAP. The trial will evaluate the drug alone, with another experimental drug, BG-89894, and alongside standard cancer treatments. Individuals whose cancer has returned or worsened after standard treatments, or who cannot undergo standard treatments, might be suitable candidates, particularly if their tumors exhibit MTAP deficiency. As a Phase 1 trial, the 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 information does not specify if 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 this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that BGB-58067 is being tested for safety and effectiveness in treating advanced solid tumors. This trial marks its first use in humans, so information remains limited. In this early testing phase, safety is a primary focus. The treatment is typically administered in small doses to monitor reactions.
Researchers are studying the safety of BGB-58067, whether used alone, with BG-89894, or alongside standard care. The studies aim to assess how well patients tolerate the treatment. Although it is too early to determine its safety, the progression through trials suggests some confidence in its potential.
Participants in these studies will be closely monitored for side effects and will help establish the safest dose levels. This careful approach ensures that any risks are understood and managed as more information becomes available.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about BGB-58067 because it offers a fresh approach to treating solid tumors. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which attacks rapidly dividing cells indiscriminately, BGB-58067 is designed to target specific pathways involved in tumor growth, potentially leading to fewer side effects. Additionally, when combined with BG-89894 or standard therapy, it could enhance the overall effectiveness of treatment regimens. This precision in targeting makes BGB-58067 a promising candidate for improving outcomes in patients with solid tumors.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for solid tumors?
Research has shown that BGB-58067 targets tumors with a specific deficiency by blocking a protein called PRMT5, which is linked to worse cancer outcomes. Early lab studies have shown promise, with BGB-58067 effectively stopping tumor growth. In this trial, participants may receive BGB-58067 as monotherapy or in combination with another drug, BG-89894. Initial tests suggest that the combination with BG-89894 may have even stronger anti-cancer effects, though more detailed results are still being gathered. Another arm of this trial will explore combining BGB-58067 with standard treatments, which might also improve effectiveness, but specific data remains limited. Overall, BGB-58067 has shown potential in lab settings, and researchers are eager to see its effects in people with advanced solid tumors.24567

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have lost MTAP expression, who've tried standard treatments without success or can't tolerate them. They must be able to consent, have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, and provide a tumor sample for testing.Inclusion Criteria
