What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new drug, DB-1311, in patients with advanced solid tumors. It aims to find the safest and most effective dose and then confirm its safety and effectiveness in more patients.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you must be able to stop any drugs that are known to prolong the QT interval (a heart rhythm measure). It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.

What makes the drug DB-1311 unique for treating advanced cancer?

DB-1311 is unique because it belongs to the novel imidazoacridinone family of anticancer agents, which are being studied for their safety and potential anti-tumor activity in advanced solid tumors. This sets it apart from other treatments that may not use this specific class of compounds. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Published Research Related to This Trial

C-1311, an anticancer agent, was tested in a phase 1 trial with 22 patients, showing a recommended dose of 480 mg/m² that provided a predictable safety profile and good tolerability, despite all patients experiencing treatment-related adverse events.

The most common side effects included neutropenia and nausea, with some severe cases of neutropenia, indicating that while C-1311 has potential anti-tumor activity, careful monitoring of blood-related side effects is necessary.

In a study involving 12 patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer, 50% experienced significant tumor regressions of over 30%, with four patients achieving a partial response of at least 50% reduction in tumor size after treatment with 131I chimeric L6 monoclonal antibody therapy.

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for the therapy was determined to be 60 mCi/m2 without stem cell support, while higher doses (up to 150 mCi/m2) were administered safely with autologous stem cell support, indicating the potential for effective radioimmunotherapy in this patient population.

In a phase II trial involving 25 patients with relapsed B-cell lymphomas, treatment with 131I-labelled anti-CD20 antibody resulted in 18 out of 21 patients showing objective responses, including 16 complete remissions.

The therapy demonstrated a high overall survival rate of 93% and a progression-free survival rate of 62% over a median follow-up of 2 years, indicating its efficacy in producing long-lasting responses in this patient population.

The study demonstrated that 131I-anti hnRNPB1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) effectively inhibits tumor growth in mice with Lewis lung carcinoma, with a significant reduction in tumor volume observed in groups receiving the treatment compared to the control group.

A dose-response relationship was established, showing that administering double doses of 131I-anti hnRNPB1 MAb resulted in a greater tumor growth inhibition rate (67.17%) compared to a single dose (39.03%), highlighting the importance of dosage in therapeutic efficacy.

In a study using a nude mouse model, combining low-dose 131I-labeled monoclonal antibody A33 with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) significantly enhanced tumor reduction compared to using either treatment alone, indicating a potential additive antitumor effect.

Long-term survival results showed that 38% of mice treated with the combination of 5-FU and 131I-mAb A33 were disease-free after 276 days, suggesting a synergistic effect that supports further clinical trials for this combination therapy in colon cancer.
