EOS-448 for Cancer
(TIG-006 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new cancer treatment called EOS-448, alone or with other drugs, to determine its safety and effectiveness against advanced solid tumors. Different groups in the trial will receive combinations of EOS-448 with other therapies, such as dostarlimab (an immunotherapy drug), pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug), or chemotherapies. The trial seeks individuals with advanced cancers who have exhausted standard treatment options, including specific types like non-small cell lung cancer or head and neck cancer. Participants should have a diagnosed advanced cancer that hasn't responded to other treatments and maintain good overall health. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the chance to be among the first to receive this new therapy.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you have not received any anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks before the first dose, so you may need to stop certain cancer treatments. However, the protocol does not specify about other medications, so it's best to discuss with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that EOS-448, also known as belrestotug, is undergoing testing for safety in individuals with advanced solid tumors. When combined with treatments like dostarlimab and inupadenant, early results have been promising. Dostarlimab, used alongside chemotherapy, has improved patient outcomes and demonstrated safety, suggesting it might also be safe with EOS-448 and inupadenant.
Another combination involves pembrolizumab, frequently used with EOS-448. Many cancer studies have shown it to be safe, typically not causing severe side effects.
Overall, while EOS-448 remains under investigation, these combinations show potential for safety based on past studies. However, as these are early-phase trials, more information is needed to fully understand the safety of EOS-448 in these combinations.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about EOS-448 for cancer treatment because it offers a unique approach compared to current options. Unlike traditional therapies that often target cancer cells directly, EOS-448 is an antibody that targets the TIGIT protein on immune cells, potentially enhancing the body's own immune response against cancer. This mechanism is particularly promising as it could work synergistically with other immunotherapies like dostarlimab and pembrolizumab, which are also part of the trial combinations. These combinations aim to boost the immune system's ability to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively, offering hope for improved outcomes in various cancer types.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for advanced solid tumors?
In this trial, participants will receive various treatment combinations to assess their effectiveness against advanced solid tumors. EOS-448, one of the investigational treatments, has shown promise in previous studies by reducing certain cells in tumors, suggesting a treatment effect. Some participants will receive EOS-448 combined with dostarlimab, a pairing that has shown encouraging results in fighting tumors. Dostarlimab alone has helped some cancer patients live longer. Other participants will receive EOS-448 combined with inupadenant, which has shown early signs of effectiveness. Additionally, EOS-448 will be tested with pembrolizumab, known for enhancing the immune system's ability to fight tumors. These combinations aim to improve treatment outcomes by boosting the body's immune response to combat cancer.23678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors, including melanoma, lung cancer, and head & neck cancers. Participants must have progressed on anti-PD-(L)1 therapy (for melanoma), or be eligible for first-line metastatic treatment combining anti-PD(L)1 therapy with chemotherapy. They should not have received recent anticancer therapies or live vaccines, nor should they have uncontrolled diseases or certain genetic aberrations indicating other treatments.Inclusion Criteria
