JBI-802 for Solid Tumors
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called JBI-802, an experimental drug, to determine the optimal dose and assess its effectiveness for individuals with advanced solid tumors, particularly those with neuroendocrine differentiation. Participants take JBI-802 in cycles of four days on, three days off. The trial suits individuals with advanced solid tumors who lack effective treatment options, such as those with small cell lung cancer or specific neuroendocrine tumors. Participants must have a measurable tumor and no severe health issues that could complicate treatment. As a Phase 1/Phase 2 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people and measure its effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, offering participants the chance to contribute to groundbreaking cancer research.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires you to stop using strong inhibitors or inducers of certain enzymes (CYP3A and CYP2D6) at least 14 days before starting the study. If you're on anticoagulants, you must be on a stable dose for at least 2 weeks before joining. Other medications are not specifically mentioned, so it's best to discuss with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that JBI-802 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that JBI-802 is generally well-tolerated by patients with advanced solid tumors. Studies indicate it has a good safety profile, meaning it usually doesn't cause serious side effects. Notably, JBI-802 can lead to a decrease in platelets, which are blood cells that help with clotting. However, this effect depends on the dose and can be reversed.
Some patients have experienced a more significant drop in platelets, known as grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia. Fortunately, this has not affected hemoglobin levels, which is positive because it means there are no issues with blood oxygen levels. Overall, early studies suggest JBI-802 is safe for humans, but ongoing trials will provide more detailed information.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about JBI-802 for treating solid tumors because it offers a new approach compared to existing options. Unlike traditional chemotherapy or targeted therapies, JBI-802 works by a unique mechanism, involving a four days on, three days off dosing cycle, which could potentially enhance effectiveness and reduce side effects. This treatment specifically targets the epigenetic regulators involved in tumor growth, which may lead to better outcomes for patients who haven't responded well to conventional treatments. If successful, JBI-802 could represent a significant advancement in the fight against solid tumors, providing a more tailored and possibly more effective treatment option.
What evidence suggests that JBI-802 might be an effective treatment for solid tumors?
Research has shown that JBI-802, the investigational treatment in this trial, exhibits strong anti-cancer effects. It blocks specific proteins, LSD1 and HDAC6, which aid cancer growth. Early animal tests demonstrated that JBI-802 effectively shrinks tumors. In one patient with advanced cancer, the treatment reduced liver tumors by more than 50%, significantly decreasing the cancer in the liver. These results suggest that JBI-802 could effectively treat advanced cancers.13678
