FWD1509 for Lung Cancer
(FWD1509 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called FWD1509 MsOH for individuals with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The main goal is to determine the treatment's safety and establish the best dose for future studies. Participants should have NSCLC with specific genetic changes, such as EGFR or HER2 mutations, and must have tried other treatments without success. The trial is open to those with at least one measurable tumor and whose cancer has progressed despite previous treatments. 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 it.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop taking certain medications, such as strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers, at least 2 weeks before starting the study drug. Additionally, medications that are substrates of BCRP, p-glycoprotein, or OATP1B1/1B3 should be avoided during the study.
Is there any evidence suggesting that FWD1509 MsOH is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that FWD1509 MsOH is being tested for safety in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This treatment is in the early stages of testing, so information about its safety in humans remains limited. These early trials aim to find the safest doses and identify any side effects.
As a Phase 1 and 2 trial, the main focus is on understanding how well people can tolerate the treatment and determining the right dose. The treatment is closely monitored for any health issues it might cause. Participants might experience some side effects, but the goal is to identify these and ensure they are manageable.
Currently, no specific reports detail how people have reacted to FWD1509 MsOH. Those considering joining the trial should know that the treatment's safety is still under study. Prospective participants can ask the trial team for more information about observations so far.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about FWD1509 MsOH because it offers a new approach to treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR or HER2 genetic alterations. Unlike the standard treatments, which often involve drugs like tyrosine kinase inhibitors or chemotherapy, FWD1509 MsOH is designed to specifically target and inhibit these genetic mutations more precisely. This targeted mechanism could potentially lead to more effective outcomes with fewer side effects, improving the quality of life for patients.
What evidence suggests that FWD1509 MsOH might be an effective treatment for lung cancer?
Research has shown that FWD1509 MsOH targets specific genetic changes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This treatment blocks certain proteins that promote cancer growth. Early studies found that FWD1509 MsOH can be safely administered to patients with advanced NSCLC. Although detailed efficacy data remains limited, targeting genetic changes such as EGFR or HER2 offers a promising personalized approach for treating this cancer. Researchers continue to determine the optimal dose for maximum benefit.12346
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who've had at least one prior systemic therapy can join this trial. They need a measurable tumor, good performance status, and adequate organ function. Major surgery within the last 28 days or certain health conditions like uncontrolled heart disease disqualify participation.Inclusion Criteria
