Zenocutuzumab for Solid Tumors
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a new drug called zenocutuzumab in patients with specific genetic changes in their tumors. The goal is to see if the drug can safely and effectively stop the growth of these cancers.
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 not have taken any anti-cancer medication or investigational drugs within 14 days or 5 half-lives before the first dose of the study drug, whichever is shorter.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop taking any anti-cancer medication or investigational drugs at least 14 days before starting the study treatment. If your current medication is not an anti-cancer drug, the protocol does not specify whether you need to stop it.
What data supports the idea that Zenocutuzumab for Solid Tumors is an effective treatment?
The available research shows that Zenocutuzumab is effective for patients with tumors that have NRG1 gene rearrangements. In a study, two patients with pancreatic cancer and one with lung cancer, all of whom had not responded to previous treatments, showed significant improvement after using Zenocutuzumab. The pancreatic cancer patients experienced rapid relief from symptoms and continued to benefit from the treatment for over a year. The lung cancer patient, who had tried six other treatments without success, also showed a positive response. This suggests that Zenocutuzumab can be a promising option for these specific types of cancer.12345
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Zenocutuzumab for solid tumors?
Zenocutuzumab has shown effectiveness in treating tumors with NRG1 gene rearrangements, particularly in pancreatic cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, by targeting specific proteins (HER2 and HER3) involved in tumor growth. In studies, patients with these types of cancers experienced significant improvements, including reduced tumor size and prolonged treatment response.12345
What safety data is available for Zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128) for solid tumors?
The provided research does not contain specific safety data for Zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128) or its other names like Bizengri, Zeno, or zenocutuzumab-zbco. The studies focus on different treatments and imaging agents, such as 89Zr-pertuzumab and pembrolizumab, and do not mention Zenocutuzumab. Therefore, no relevant safety data for Zenocutuzumab is available in the provided research.678910
Is Zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128) a promising drug for solid tumors?
Zenocutuzumab (MCLA-128) is considered a promising drug for solid tumors because it is designed to target specific proteins on cancer cells, potentially leading to better treatment outcomes. It is part of a new class of drugs that aim to improve the effectiveness of cancer treatment by precisely targeting cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.37111213
