BG-C0902 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called BG-C0902 for individuals with advanced solid tumors unresponsive to other treatments. The goal is to assess the safety and tolerability of this treatment and its potential to shrink tumors. The study consists of two parts: first, determining a safe dose, and then testing that dose in more participants. This trial seeks participants whose cancer cannot be surgically removed and who have no other treatment options. 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 it.
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 BG-C0902 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research into BG-C0902 remains in the early stages. As a first-in-human study, it primarily focuses on assessing the treatment's safety and tolerability. This Phase 1 trial marks the first time this treatment is tested in humans.
Consequently, detailed information on side effects or safety is limited. In Phase 1 studies, researchers closely monitor participants to determine the safest dose and identify any side effects. The treatment undergoes careful testing, but potential risks are not yet fully understood.
Joining a trial like this is an important decision and often involves risks that are not fully known. Always consult with a doctor to determine if this is the right choice.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
BG-C0902 is unique because it works as a monotherapy with the potential to target specific cancer cells more precisely than traditional chemotherapy. Traditional treatments often involve broad-spectrum chemotherapy, which can harm both cancerous and healthy cells, leading to significant side effects. BG-C0902 aims to minimize these side effects by escalating doses to find the most effective and safest level for patients. Researchers are excited about its potential to target tumors more accurately, possibly leading to better outcomes with fewer side effects.
What evidence suggests that BG-C0902 might be an effective treatment for cancer?
Research suggests that BG-C0902 could help treat advanced solid tumors. This treatment blocks two proteins, EGFR and MET, which often contribute to cancer growth. By inhibiting these proteins, BG-C0902 might halt or even shrink tumors. The drug also links to a substance that can damage cancer cell DNA, leading to cell death. Early lab studies have shown promising results, indicating potential effectiveness in humans. Although human study data is limited, current research appears promising. Participants in this trial will receive BG-C0902 in different phases to evaluate its safety and effectiveness.15678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that can't be removed by surgery or treated with curative intent, and who have no other treatment options or can't tolerate them. They must have at least one measurable tumor, be in relatively good health (ECOG ≤ 1), and have proper organ function. Participants need to provide a tissue sample of their tumor and agree to use effective birth control.Inclusion Criteria
Timeline for a Trial Participant
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Phase 1a: Dose Escalation and Safety Expansion
Sequential cohorts of increasing dose levels of BG-C0902 will be evaluated as monotherapy to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Administered Dose (MAD)
Phase 1b: Dose Expansion
The recommended dose(s) for expansion (RDFE) for BG-C0902 from Part 1 will be evaluated in selected tumors
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after treatment
