FORTITUDE-301 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain advanced solid tumors that have grown or returned after treatment can join this trial. They must have tried at least one standard therapy, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1), and their tumor must show high levels of FGFR2b protein. People with untreated brain metastases, significant heart issues, eye problems requiring steroids, or those who've had recent corneal surgery cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and potential cancer-fighting ability of a drug called Bemarituzumab in patients whose tumors overexpress FGFR2b. It's for those who've already undergone other treatments without success.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common ones for cancer drugs like Bemarituzumab may include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, skin reactions and increased risk of infections. Heart function might also be affected given the exclusion criteria related to cardiac issues.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Part 2: Monotherapy Dose ExpansionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants across multiple primary epithelial solid tumors with centrally determined FGFR2b overexpression and relapsed/refractory unresectable and/or metastatic disease will receive the dose of bemarituzumab identified as the recommended Phase 2 dose during Part 1.
Group II: Part 1: Monotherapy Dose ExplorationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants across multiple primary epithelial solid tumors with centrally determined FGFR2b overexpression and relapsed/refractory unresectable and/or metastatic disease will receive 1 of 2 dose regimens of bemarituzumab to determine recommended Phase 2 dose.
