SHP2 Inhibitor for Solid Cancers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new drug, HBI-2376, a SHP2 inhibitor, to determine the right dose for patients with solid tumors that have specific mutations called KRAS or EGFR. Researchers aim to observe how the drug behaves in the body and identify any side effects. This study targets individuals whose cancer treatments have failed or who cannot undergo standard treatments. Eligible participants should have advanced cancer with these mutations and be able to swallow pills. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot have taken other investigational drugs or certain immunosuppressive medications within 4 weeks before starting the study.
Is there any evidence suggesting that HBI-2376 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that HBI-2376 is a new drug designed to treat solid tumors with specific genetic changes. Early lab studies found that this drug is generally safe and well-absorbed when taken by mouth, indicating safety in animal tests.
Human trials are in the early stages, focusing on finding the right dose. The current study aims to determine the safest dose for people by gradually increasing the amount given to patients. As a Phase 1 trial, the main goal is to ensure safety and understand how the drug works in the body.
While detailed safety information for humans isn't available yet, the trial's initiation suggests that early tests were promising enough to proceed. Participants are closely monitored for any side effects to ensure their well-being.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard treatments for solid cancers, which often involve chemotherapy or immunotherapy, HBI-2376 targets a specific protein called SHP2, which plays a crucial role in cancer cell growth. This unique mechanism of action allows it to potentially inhibit cancer progression more effectively by directly interfering with a key signal pathway that cancer cells rely on. Researchers are excited about HBI-2376 because targeting SHP2 could offer a more precise and possibly less toxic alternative to traditional cancer therapies, focusing on the cancer's specific vulnerabilities.
What evidence suggests that HBI-2376 might be an effective treatment for solid cancers?
Research shows that SHP2 inhibitors, such as HBI-2376, can halt cancer cell growth and aid the immune system in combating tumors. Studies have demonstrated that SHP2 inhibitors effectively treat cancers with KRAS or EGFR mutations, common in many solid tumors. Early findings suggest these inhibitors can increase cancer cells' responsiveness to treatment, potentially improving patient outcomes. Initial data indicates that HBI-2376, the investigational treatment in this trial, is generally well-tolerated and may benefit patients with advanced cancers.13678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with advanced solid tumors that have specific mutations (KRAS or EGFR) and who have not responded to standard treatments can join. They must be able to take pills, have good organ function, and a performance status indicating they are relatively active. People with untreated brain metastases, recent heart issues, ongoing severe side effects from past cancer treatment, pregnancy, or autoimmune diseases cannot participate.Inclusion Criteria
