ARV-806 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to test the safety and potential effectiveness of a new drug, ARV-806, for advanced cancer patients with a specific KRAS mutation. Researchers believe ARV-806 could help break down a mutated protein in tumors, possibly slowing or stopping their growth. Part A of the trial will test different doses in adults with advanced cancer, while Part B will focus on those with advanced pancreatic cancer. Candidates for the trial have advanced cancer with the KRAS mutation and have not found success with other treatments. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop any systemic anticancer therapy at least 2 weeks before starting the study treatment. If your last treatment was an antibody-based agent, you need to wait 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, before starting the trial.
Is there any evidence suggesting that ARV-806 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that ARV-806 is undergoing its first tests in humans. As this is the initial human study, no previous information exists about its safety in people. This early-phase study aims to determine the best dose and identify any side effects.
Earlier lab tests demonstrated that ARV-806 was very effective against cancer cells, suggesting potential efficacy, though human reactions can differ. The study will begin with small groups, gradually increasing the dose while closely monitoring for negative effects. This careful approach prioritizes safety. Participants will receive close monitoring throughout the trial to address any potential issues promptly.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for cancer?
Researchers are excited about ARV-806 because it introduces a novel approach to cancer treatment by utilizing targeted protein degradation. Unlike traditional cancer therapies that often involve chemotherapy or radiation, which can affect both healthy and cancerous cells, ARV-806 specifically targets and degrades proteins that are essential for cancer cell survival. This precision reduces potential side effects and enhances effectiveness. Additionally, ARV-806 is being tested in different dosing regimens, providing flexibility in treatment plans and potentially improving patient outcomes.
What evidence suggests that ARV-806 might be an effective treatment for advanced cancer with a specific KRAS mutation?
Research has shown that ARV-806 may help treat cancers with a specific KRAS mutation. In lab tests, ARV-806 significantly reduced tumor size, with some tumors shrinking by more than 30%. The drug targets and breaks down a mutated protein that aids tumor growth, potentially stopping or slowing cancer progression. Although ARV-806 has not yet been tested in humans, its method offers hope for treating difficult cancers like pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancer. Early data suggests that ARV-806 could be a powerful new tool in fighting these cancers. Participants in this trial will receive ARV-806 in either a dose escalation phase or a dose expansion phase to evaluate its safety and effectiveness.12356
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced cancers that have a specific mutation called KRAS G12D. Participants must have tried standard treatments without cure, or be unlikely to benefit from them. They need at least one measurable tumor and good organ function. People who can't join include those without the KRAS G12D mutation or inadequate organ function.Inclusion Criteria
