IPN60300 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new drug, IPN60300, to determine the safest and most effective dose for treating adults with advanced solid tumors—cancers that have spread to other parts of the body. The trial consists of two parts: first, testing different doses to identify the most effective one, and second, using those doses to treat a specific type of tumor. Individuals with advanced cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments or for whom no other treatments are available might be suitable candidates. Participants will undergo various tests and evaluations to monitor the drug's effects. 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 information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss your specific situation with the study team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that IPN60300 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that IPN60300 is being tested for safety and effectiveness in people with advanced solid tumors. Early results suggest that IPN60300 is generally well-tolerated, even as researchers work to find the right dose. Participants receive different doses to observe their body's reactions, and some may experience side effects. The main goal is to ensure the drug is safe and that any side effects can be managed.
Although complete information on all side effects is not yet available, the study is in its early stages, with close monitoring for safety. Some side effects are expected, but they are usually not severe enough to halt the study.
Overall, IPN60300 is under careful study to ensure it can be a safe treatment option for those with advanced cancer. As researchers gather more data, they aim to understand how well people tolerate the drug and what side effects might occur.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike traditional cancer treatments that often rely on chemotherapy or radiation, IPN60300 is unique because it potentially targets cancer cells more precisely. Researchers are excited about IPN60300 because it introduces a novel mechanism of action that may minimize damage to healthy cells, reducing side effects compared to standard treatments. This targeted approach could lead to more effective outcomes and a better quality of life for patients battling cancer.
What evidence suggests that IPN60300 might be an effective treatment for advanced solid tumours?
Research has shown that IPN60300 targets a new protein found in many solid tumors, suggesting the drug could be effective for various advanced cancers. Previous patients responded well, indicating that IPN60300 might help shrink tumors or slow their growth. In this trial, participants will join either a Phase Ia dose escalation arm or a Phase Ib dose optimization arm, as studies aim to find the safest and most effective dose. Early signs suggest this drug could be a major step forward in treating advanced solid tumors.13467

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with advanced solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer and metastatic tumors, are eligible if they have measurable disease, adequate bone marrow function, and are in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1). They must be over 18 years old and willing to use contraception. The trial is not suitable for those who've had certain treatments or have specific health issues.Inclusion Criteria
Timeline for a Trial Participant
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Treatment Phase Ia
Participants with certain types of tumours will be treated in cohorts of increasingly higher doses of the drug to determine the safe and effective dose range
Treatment Phase Ib
Participants with a specific tumour type will receive one of the two doses identified in phase Ia, assigned randomly
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after treatment
