What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for skin cancer, such as systemic therapies, topical treatments, and photodynamic therapy, have various side effects. Systemic therapies like SGN-BB228, which are used for advanced melanoma and other solid tumors, often cause side effects such as headache, increased creatinine phosphokinase levels, and skin irritation. Topical treatments like imiquimod 5% cream can lead to local side effects, including mild to moderate skin reactions and scarring. Photodynamic therapy may cause pain during treatment, which can be managed with analgesia. These side effects vary in severity and frequency depending on the specific treatment and patient response.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several targeted therapies and immunotherapies for the treatment of skin cancers. For melanoma, drugs like pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and nivolumab (Opdivo), which are immune checkpoint inhibitors, have been approved. Additionally, targeted therapies such as vemurafenib (Zelboraf) and dabrafenib (Tafinlar) for BRAF-mutant melanoma have also received approval. For basal cell carcinoma, the FDA has approved hedgehog pathway inhibitors like vismodegib (Erivedge) and sonidegib (Odomzo). These treatments are similar to investigational drugs like SGN-BB228, which are being studied for their efficacy in treating advanced solid tumors, including melanoma.

What other types of research exist?

Promising alternatives to SGN-BB228 for skin cancer patients include sonidegib, which is FDA-approved for locally advanced basal cell carcinoma, and dovitinib, an inhibitor of FGF, VEGF, and platelet-derived growth factor receptors, which has shown preliminary efficacy in advanced melanoma. Both treatments have undergone significant clinical evaluation and may offer effective options for patients.

Summary

This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of a drug for treating hard-to-treat solid tumors. It will also look at side effects.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with certain advanced solid tumors, including melanoma and lung cancer, that are difficult to treat or have spread. Participants must have tried specific therapies before, like anti-PD-1 drugs for melanoma. They should be relatively healthy (ECOG score of 0 or 1) and not have had other cancers in the last 3 years.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

SGN-BB228 is being tested in this study to determine its safety and effectiveness against various solid tumors. The trial has three parts: Parts A and B will decide the right dose; Part C will test if it's safe at that dose and if it helps treat these cancers.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While the exact side effects of SGN-BB228 aren't listed here, common ones from similar treatments include fatigue, nausea, skin reactions at injection sites, immune-related issues affecting organs, muscle aches, feverish symptoms.

Other Research

Common treatments for skin cancer include surgical excision, photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Surgical excision involves physically removing the cancerous tissue, which is effective for localized tumors. Photodynamic therapy uses a photosensitizing agent activated by light to destroy cancer cells. Immunotherapy, such as checkpoint inhibitors, boosts the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Targeted therapies, like BRAF inhibitors, specifically target genetic mutations within cancer cells to inhibit their growth. These treatments are crucial for skin cancer patients as they offer various approaches to manage and potentially cure the disease. Investigational drugs like SGN-BB228 are being studied to determine their safety and effectiveness in treating hard-to-treat or metastatic solid tumors, including melanoma, by potentially offering new mechanisms to target and destroy cancer cells.
