GS-0201 + Sacituzumab Govitecan for Solid Tumors
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the safety and optimal dose of a new treatment, GS-0201 (experimental treatment), administered alone or with sacituzumab govitecan (SG, a type of cancer drug), for individuals with advanced solid tumors. Researchers aim to assess how well participants tolerate these treatments and determine the best dose for future studies. They seek participants with advanced solid tumors, including specific types of breast cancer that have not responded well to other treatments. 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 treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but it mentions that ongoing therapy with prohibited medications is not allowed. You may need to stop certain treatments before starting the trial, especially if they are listed as prohibited.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that GS-0201 is still undergoing testing to determine its safety for humans. As this is its first trial in humans, limited information exists on its effects. The primary goal is to identify a safe dose and assess tolerance.
Sacituzumab govitecan is more familiar, having received FDA approval for treating certain cancers, indicating general safety. However, researchers are still determining the optimal and safest way to combine it with GS-0201.
Studies have reported side effects from sacituzumab govitecan, such as nausea and reduced blood cell counts, which can vary among individuals. As the trial progresses, more information will emerge about the safety of using GS-0201 alone or in combination with sacituzumab govitecan. Currently, researchers aim to establish the safest doses for these treatments.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about GS-0201 and Sacituzumab Govitecan because they offer new approaches to treating solid tumors, including challenging types of breast cancer. Unlike standard treatments, which often involve chemotherapy or hormone therapy, GS-0201 is designed to target specific pathways involved in cancer cell survival, potentially making it more precise. Sacituzumab Govitecan is an antibody-drug conjugate, which means it delivers chemotherapy directly to cancer cells, sparing more healthy cells and potentially reducing side effects. This combination aims to enhance treatment effectiveness and improve outcomes for patients with advanced cancers.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for advanced solid tumors?
Research has shown that sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is promising in treating advanced cancers, such as breast cancer. It delivers a potent drug directly to cancer cells, inhibiting their growth. In this trial, some participants will receive GS-0201 alone, as researchers are testing it as a newer treatment for solid tumors. Others will receive a combination of GS-0201 with SG to determine if it enhances SG's effects, potentially improving outcomes in treating advanced solid tumors. Early studies focus on identifying the optimal dose and ensuring patient safety.34678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors who are physically capable of daily activity (ECOG status 0-1). They must understand the study and consent to it, have good blood, kidney, liver function, and measurable tumor growth. Participants need to provide tissue samples before and during treatment.Inclusion Criteria
