PRO1160 for Advanced Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new drug, PRO1160, to determine its safety and effectiveness for people with certain advanced cancers. It targets cancers that have spread or cannot be surgically removed, specifically kidney cancer, virus-linked nose and throat cancer, and certain blood cancers. It suits those whose cancer has returned or not responded to 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 this new drug.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot use a strong P450 CYP3A inhibitor within 14 days before starting the trial.
Is there any evidence suggesting that GEN1160 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that PRO1160, also known as GEN1160, is under study for safety in individuals with advanced solid tumors and blood cancers. Earlier studies found that participants generally tolerated PRO1160 well. Reported side effects included tiredness, nausea, and low blood cell counts, but these were manageable. PRO1160 is currently in an early-stage study, so safety information is still being collected. Its progression through these stages suggests that early findings indicate it is safe enough for continued study.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard treatments for advanced cancer, which often include chemotherapy and targeted therapies, PRO1160 is unique because it focuses on a novel mechanism of action. PRO1160 acts as a monotherapy with the potential to precisely target cancer cells, minimizing damage to healthy cells. Researchers are excited because this approach could lead to fewer side effects and potentially more effective outcomes for patients with advanced cancer. By optimizing the dose through careful escalation, PRO1160 aims to maximize its therapeutic impact while maintaining safety.
What evidence suggests that PRO1160 might be an effective treatment for advanced cancer?
Research has shown that GEN1160, also known as PRO1160, could help treat advanced cancers. This drug is a targeted treatment, using a special protein to locate and attack cancer cells directly. Early results suggest this method might work well for cancers that are difficult to remove with surgery or have recurred after treatment. This trial tests PRO1160 specifically for its potential to treat Renal Cell Carcinoma, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. While initial findings are promising, ongoing research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety for these cancer types.15678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced cancers like kidney cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, or stage III/IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that have worsened after treatment. Participants must be able to provide a tumor sample and should not have had certain other cancers in the last 3 years or been treated with anti-CD70 therapy.Inclusion Criteria
