BBT-207 for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called BBT-207 for individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), specifically targeting tumors with certain EGFR mutations. The study aims to determine the safety and effectiveness of BBT-207 by testing various doses and observing its impact on cancer. It is open to those with advanced NSCLC who have tried other EGFR-targeting treatments and experienced disease progression or side effects. Participants must have confirmed EGFR mutations known to respond to these treatments and have previously benefited from them but now require new options. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how BBT-207 works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop taking any EGFR TKI medications, like osimertinib or afatinib, at least 8 days before starting the study treatment. Other targeted inhibitors or chemotherapy must be stopped 14 days before, and biologic anticancer medicines 28 days before starting the trial.
Is there any evidence suggesting that BBT-207 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that BBT-207 has just begun testing in humans, so most safety information comes from these early studies. Before human trials, lab research indicated that BBT-207 might be effective against certain lung cancer mutations.
BBT-207 is currently in a Phase 1/2 study, where researchers primarily assess its safety and tolerability. During these early stages, they closely monitor for side effects. At this point, determining the optimal dose and observing any adverse reactions is typical.
Detailed information about BBT-207's safety in humans remains limited, but these studies aim to understand its safety profile. Since BBT-207 is still under investigation, learning about its safety continues.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for non-small cell lung cancer?
Unlike the standard treatments for non-small cell lung cancer, which primarily include EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) like gefitinib, erlotinib, and osimertinib, BBT-207 is unique because it targets the EGFR C797S mutation. This mutation often arises as a resistance mechanism to current EGFR TKIs, making BBT-207 a promising option for patients who no longer respond to these standard treatments. Researchers are excited about BBT-207 because it could potentially overcome resistance to existing therapies, offering a new hope for patients with limited options.
What evidence suggests that BBT-207 might be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer?
Research shows that BBT-207 is a promising new treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. In early studies, BBT-207 demonstrated a strong ability to fight tumors, with high survival rates in test groups. This trial will explore BBT-207 across different phases: Phase 1a involves dose escalation in patients with an EGFR TKI sensitizing mutation, Phase 1b tests two recommended dose levels in patients with an EGFR C797S mutation, and Phase 2 evaluates the recommended phase 2 dose in patients with an EGFR C797S mutation. This treatment targets specific changes in the EGFR gene, often linked to cancer's resistance to treatment. By focusing on these changes, BBT-207 aims to effectively stop cancer growth. Initial results suggest that BBT-207 may overcome resistance to previous treatments, offering hope for those with certain genetic changes in their cancer.15678
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific EGFR mutation and has worsened after treatment with EGFR TKI therapy. Participants should have tried all standard treatments, be in relatively good physical condition (ECOG score of 0 or 1), and have tumors that responded at some point to previous EGFR TKI treatment. People can't join if they have unresolved side effects from past therapies, certain heart conditions, recent radiotherapy, or took other cancer drugs too close to the start of this study.Inclusion Criteria
