Brigimadlin for Solid Cancers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new medicine, BI 907828 (also known as Brigimadlin), to determine its effectiveness for people with certain types of advanced cancer, specifically in the bile ducts, pancreas, lungs, or bladder. BI 907828 blocks a protein (MDM2) that aids cancer cell growth. Participants will take a tablet every three weeks and visit the study site regularly to assess their cancer's response and monitor their health. The trial seeks individuals whose previous cancer treatments failed or who have no other treatment options. Candidates may qualify if they have one of these advanced cancers and have exhausted all standard treatments. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on measuring the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of people.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. However, if you are taking any medications that might interfere with the trial, you may need to stop them. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that BI 907828 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that brigimadlin (BI 907828) is generally safe for most patients, with side effects that are not too severe. In one study, patients with biliary tract cancer had encouraging results, with some experiencing tumor shrinkage or stable disease. This suggests the treatment is effective without causing major issues.
Another study found that brigimadlin was safe for people with advanced solid tumors. Patients tolerated the treatment well and showed signs of the drug's effectiveness. Overall, brigimadlin appears to be well-tolerated by most people, making it a potentially safe option for those seeking new cancer treatments.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Brigimadlin (BI 907828) is unique because it targets the MDM2-p53 interaction, a novel approach in the fight against solid cancers. Most treatments for these cancers, like chemotherapy, broadly attack rapidly dividing cells, often causing significant side effects. Brigimadlin, however, specifically inhibits the MDM2 protein, which helps cancer cells avoid the self-destruct process. By reactivating the tumor-suppressing p53 pathway, it aims to selectively eliminate cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Researchers are excited about this targeted mechanism because it could result in more effective treatments with fewer side effects.
What evidence suggests that BI 907828 might be an effective treatment for advanced cancer in the biliary tract, pancreas, lung, or bladder?
Research has shown that brigimadlin, also known as BI 907828, may help treat advanced solid tumors in the bile ducts, pancreas, lungs, and bladder. Participants in this trial will receive brigimadlin as part of the treatment arm. Studies have found that brigimadlin is generally safe and can shrink tumors in some patients. It blocks a protein that often aids cancer cell growth. Early results suggest it might be effective for patients who haven't responded to other treatments. Overall, the evidence supports its potential to help people with these types of cancers.13567
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with advanced biliary tract, pancreatic, lung (adenocarcinoma), or bladder cancer who have tried all other treatments without success or for whom no treatment exists. Participants must have a specific genetic profile (MDM2 amplification and TP53 wild-type) in their tumors, be able to take oral medication every three weeks, and commit to regular health checks at the study site.Inclusion Criteria
