CP-383 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores whether the investigational drug CP-383 can slow or stop the growth of advanced cancers. It aims to determine the optimal dose of CP-383 and assess its safety, while also examining if cancers with certain gene mutations respond better. Participants will take CP-383 orally each day and visit the clinic regularly for check-ups. The trial seeks individuals with advanced or metastatic cancers (cancers that have spread) that have not responded to standard treatments, excluding brain cancers.
As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not clearly state if you need to stop your current medications. However, it mentions that exposure to certain anti-cancer or other drugs before starting the study drug may exclude you from participating. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that CP-383 is likely to be safe for humans?
Previous studies have examined the safety of CP-383 for people with advanced cancer. Reports show that CP-383 is generally well-tolerated, with most people experiencing no serious side effects. When side effects occur, they are usually mild, such as nausea or fatigue, which are common with many cancer treatments. As this trial is in its early stages, researchers continue to study the safety of CP-383 at various doses. Participants in this trial will help determine the optimal dose that balances effectiveness with safety.
This trial tests several dose levels, ranging from 0.8 mg to 12 mg. By exploring different doses, researchers aim to identify the safest and most effective dose for future studies. Those considering joining the trial should know that ongoing studies focus on closely monitoring safety and side effects.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for cancer?
Unlike standard cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, CP-383 is an oral capsule that could offer a more convenient and potentially less invasive option for patients. Researchers are excited because CP-383 works by targeting specific cancer pathways, which might lead to fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments. Additionally, the trial explores various dosage levels to optimize effectiveness while minimizing risks, potentially paving the way for personalized cancer therapy.
What evidence suggests that CP-383 might be an effective treatment for advanced cancer?
Research shows that CP-383 targets a key pathway involved in several difficult-to-treat cancers. Early studies in labs, particularly with models of triple-negative breast and prostate cancer, have shown promising results. These studies suggest that CP-383 can effectively slow or stop cancer growth. This small drug is designed to interfere with specific processes that cancer cells need to grow. While research in humans continues, these early findings offer hope for CP-383's potential in treating advanced cancers. Participants in this trial will receive different doses of CP-383 to evaluate its safety and effectiveness.12367
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced cancers like colorectal, lung, pancreatic, bladder, and head & neck cancer who can't take standard treatments or haven't been helped by them. They need a tumor sample available and must use effective birth control. It's not for those with brain cancer.Inclusion Criteria
