PF-07820435 + Sasanlimab for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores the safety and early effectiveness of a new cancer treatment, PF-07820435, used alone or with sasanlimab (an immunotherapy), for individuals with certain advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The trial consists of two parts: initially, it tests different doses of PF-07820435 alone or with sasanlimab, then it focuses on the optimal dose for specific tumor types. It suits those diagnosed with advanced cancer that has not responded to standard treatments like chemotherapy or for whom these treatments are not an option. Participants must have at least one measurable tumor that has not been treated with radiation. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand 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 PF-07820435 was tested for safety in people with advanced solid tumors. However, Pfizer stopped an early trial of this treatment, possibly due to issues, though specific details about side effects remain unavailable.
More information exists for the combination treatment with sasanlimab. Other trials have studied sasanlimab, demonstrating its potential in cancer treatment. While some efficacy data is available, detailed safety results are not, indicating ongoing research into its safety.
As this is an early-stage trial, researchers primarily assess the safety of these treatments. They closely monitor participants for any side effects. Early-stage trials typically focus on safety, ensuring careful monitoring to manage potential risks.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about PF-07820435 and sasanlimab for cancer treatment because they offer a novel approach compared to current options. Unlike many existing treatments that primarily focus on chemotherapy or radiation, PF-07820435 is designed to be taken orally, making it potentially more convenient for patients. Additionally, when combined with sasanlimab, which is administered via subcutaneous injection, it may enhance the immune system's ability to target and destroy cancer cells. This combination could provide a more targeted treatment strategy, with the potential for improved outcomes and reduced side effects.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for cancer?
Research shows that PF-07820435 is a new drug targeting the STING pathway, which activates the body's immune system to fight cancer. Although its effectiveness as a standalone treatment is still under investigation, early results are promising for treating solid tumors. In this trial, some participants will receive PF-07820435 alone, while others will receive it with sasanlimab. When combined with other treatments, sasanlimab has significantly reduced cancer-related issues, such as lowering the risk of disease progression in bladder cancer by 32%. Combining PF-07820435 with sasanlimab in this trial might enhance the immune system's ability to detect and destroy cancer cells.12356

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with certain advanced cancers (like lung, kidney, colorectal) who've tried standard treatments without success or can't tolerate them. They need at least one measurable tumor and must provide tissue samples. It's not open to those who haven't had specific prior therapies if available and tolerable.Inclusion Criteria
