BGB-B167 + Tislelizumab for Solid Cancers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment combination for advanced solid tumors that have not responded well to other therapies. It tests the safety and effectiveness of BGB-B167 (an experimental treatment) both alone and in combination with another drug, tislelizumab (also known as Tizveni or Tevimbra). The study consists of two parts: one to determine the right dose of BGB-B167 and another to evaluate its effectiveness with tislelizumab. Individuals with advanced cancer that cannot be surgically removed and have not had success with other treatments might be suitable candidates for this trial. 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.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join 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 team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that BGB-B167, both alone and with the drug tislelizumab, is well tolerated by patients with advanced solid tumors. Studies found that participants experienced few serious side effects, indicating the treatment's relative safety. Tislelizumab, also part of this trial, has already demonstrated safety in other studies for different solid tumors. Together, these treatments have shown only minor differences in side effects and appear safe for people in clinical trials.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about BGB-B167 and tislelizumab for treating solid cancers because they offer a novel approach compared to standard therapies like chemotherapy and radiation. BGB-B167 is a unique treatment, as it potentially works by targeting specific proteins involved in cancer cell growth, which could lead to more precise cancer inhibition. Tislelizumab, on the other hand, is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. This combination aims to enhance the body's natural defenses against cancer, offering hope for more effective and targeted cancer treatments.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for solid cancers?
Research has shown that BGB-B167, one of the treatments in this trial, is generally well tolerated by patients with advanced solid tumors, whether used alone or with another drug called tislelizumab. However, its tumor-fighting ability has been limited so far. Tislelizumab alone, also under study in this trial, has effectively treated some solid tumors. The trial aims to combine these treatments to enhance the body's immune response against cancer cells. Although the research remains in early stages, there is hope that this combination could offer a new treatment option for cancers unresponsive to other therapies.34678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults over 18 with advanced solid tumors that can't be surgically removed or have spread, and who've tried standard treatments without success or can't tolerate them. They must be relatively healthy (ECOG ≤1) and not have had another cancer in the last 3 years, no active autoimmune diseases, brain metastasis, or severe allergies to similar drugs.Inclusion Criteria
