JNJ-87890387 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores the safety and optimal dosage of a new cancer treatment called JNJ-87890387, an experimental therapy. It aims to assist individuals with certain advanced solid tumors, such as kidney, ovarian, uterine, colorectal, or lung cancer. Participants with these cancers who are willing to provide a tumor sample may be suitable candidates. 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 therapy.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
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 JNJ-87890387 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that JNJ-87890387, a new cancer treatment, is currently being tested. Lab studies have shown promising results in fighting tumors. However, limited information exists about its safety for humans. The current trial is in its early stages, focusing on finding a safe dose and identifying any side effects. Due to its early phase, little is known about how well people tolerate it. Participants in the trial will help researchers gather more information about its safety.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about JNJ-87890387 because it represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Unlike standard therapies like chemotherapy and targeted therapies that attack cancer cells broadly, JNJ-87890387 is designed to precisely target specific cancer pathways, potentially increasing effectiveness while minimizing side effects. This specificity could offer new hope for patients who don't respond well to existing treatments, providing a more tailored and potentially less toxic option.
What evidence suggests that JNJ-87890387 might be an effective treatment for cancer?
Research has shown that JNJ-87890387, the investigational treatment studied in this trial, holds promise for treating certain cancers. In lab studies, it effectively helped T-cells (a type of immune cell) attack cancer cells. This effect appeared in cancers like kidney and liver cancer, where the treatment targeted a specific protein called ENPP3 found on cancer cells. The treatment's ability to boost the immune system and kill cancer cells was demonstrated in both lab-grown cancer cells and real patient cancer samples. These early findings suggest that JNJ-87890387 could effectively treat cancers with high levels of the ENPP3 protein.12467
