IMP1734 for Advanced Solid Tumors
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment, IMP1734, for individuals with advanced or metastatic breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer. The goal is to determine if IMP1734 can effectively treat these cancers in patients with specific genetic mutations affecting DNA repair. Participants should have received prior treatment for their cancer but still require management. Those with these cancer types and a specific genetic profile might be suitable for this trial. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop any investigational or approved anti-cancer therapies at least 28 days before starting the study medication. However, if you have metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, you must continue ongoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Is there any evidence suggesting that IMP1734 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that IMP1734, also known as EIK1003, targets a specific protein that helps cancer cells repair themselves, potentially stopping tumor growth. Previous studies have demonstrated that this treatment can effectively slow tumor growth in lab tests. Since the trial under consideration is in its early stages (Phase 1/2), researchers are still closely monitoring and understanding the drug's safety in humans.
Detailed safety data for humans is not yet available, but advancing to this phase suggests that initial tests did not reveal major safety concerns. While side effects may still occur, safety remains a top priority. A dedicated Safety Monitoring Committee regularly reviews new safety information. For those considering joining this trial, it may be reassuring to know that safety is being carefully monitored.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
IMP1734 is unique because it targets advanced solid tumors with a fresh approach. Unlike current treatments, which often involve chemotherapy or radiation, IMP1734 is an oral tablet designed for daily use, making it potentially more convenient for patients. Researchers are excited because it promises a new mechanism of action that could offer hope for those who have not responded to traditional therapies. With the possibility of fewer side effects and a more targeted attack on cancer cells, IMP1734 stands out as a promising candidate in the fight against advanced solid tumors.
What evidence suggests that IMP1734 might be an effective treatment for advanced solid tumors?
Research has shown that IMP1734, the treatment under study in this trial, could be a promising option for some advanced cancers. IMP1734 blocks a protein called PARP1, which aids cancer cells in repairing damaged DNA. By halting this repair process, cancer cells can die. Studies suggest this method might be effective for tumors with certain genetic changes, often found in breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers. Early results indicate that IMP1734 might enable more effective treatment with fewer side effects. Although more research is needed, these findings offer hope for people with cancers linked to specific genetic mutations.12567

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer that has spread and have specific gene mutations. They must have tried platinum-based chemo (for ovarian cancer) or one chemo in any setting (for breast cancer), and may have had a PARP inhibitor before. Men must be on hormone therapy for prostate cancer and could've had taxane chemotherapy. All participants need to use birth control during the study.Inclusion Criteria
