TYRA-300 for Bladder Cancer
(SURF302 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial examines the effectiveness of a new treatment, TYRA-300, for individuals with a specific type of bladder cancer. It targets patients with low-grade, intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer involving changes in the FGFR3 gene. The trial will test various doses of TYRA-300 to assess its effectiveness and safety. Suitable candidates have recurrent bladder cancer or tumors larger than 3 cm, with a confirmed FGFR3 change. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on evaluating the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but it mentions that some medications might be prohibited. It's best to discuss your current medications with the study staff to see if any adjustments are needed.
Is there any evidence suggesting that TYRA-300 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that TYRA-300 was safe and well-tolerated in earlier studies. Patients taking TYRA-300 experienced fewer serious side effects compared to traditional treatments, suggesting it might be gentler on the body.
TYRA-300 is now in a Phase 2 trial, indicating it has already passed initial safety tests. This phase evaluates the treatment's safety in a larger group of people. For those considering joining this trial, the current data presents a positive view of the treatment's safety.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about TYRA-300 for bladder cancer because it targets FGFR3 alterations, which are common in low-grade, intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Unlike traditional treatments like BCG therapy, which involves introducing a live bacterium into the bladder, TYRA-300 is a targeted therapy, potentially offering a more precise approach with fewer side effects. This specificity could lead to better outcomes for patients who have these particular genetic alterations, making it a promising new option in the fight against bladder cancer.
What evidence suggests that TYRA-300 might be an effective treatment for bladder cancer?
Studies have shown that TYRA-300, an oral pill, is a promising treatment for bladder cancer, particularly in patients with changes in the FGFR3 protein. This protein can promote cancer cell growth, and TYRA-300 blocks it. Early results suggest that TYRA-300 effectively reduces or slows cancer growth. It also seems safer, with fewer serious side effects than traditional treatments. This trial will test TYRA-300 in different dose cohorts to evaluate its effectiveness and safety. Research suggests that targeting FGFR3 could transform bladder cancer treatment, offering new hope for patients.12345

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with low grade, intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) that has specific FGFR3 genetic changes. Participants should have had a recurrence within a year or meet other criteria outlined in the AUA Guidelines. They must understand and consent to study procedures but can't join if they don't meet these conditions.Inclusion Criteria
