SHR-A1904 for Advanced Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called SHR-A1904 for individuals with advanced solid tumors, such as certain stomach and pancreatic cancers. The goal is to determine the safety and effectiveness of SHR-A1904 and to identify the optimal dose for future studies. The trial seeks participants who have exhausted other treatment options or have no alternatives available, and whose tumors express a specific protein (Claudin 18.2) in at least half of the tumor cells. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but it does exclude those who have taken certain strong enzyme-affecting drugs recently. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that SHR-A1904 is likely to be safe for humans?
Earlier research has shown that SHR-A1904 has a safety profile most patients could handle without serious issues. Studies on patients with advanced stomach cancers found that SHR-A1904 was generally well-tolerated. While some side effects occurred, they were mostly mild or moderate. This suggests that SHR-A1904 is relatively safe, especially for those who have already tried other treatments. However, since the treatment remains in the early stages of testing for safety and dosage, more information is needed to fully understand any potential risks.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
SHR-A1904 is unique because it targets advanced cancer using a novel mechanism of action. Unlike most existing treatments that focus on broadly attacking rapidly dividing cells, SHR-A1904 is designed to selectively target cancer cells, potentially reducing damage to healthy tissues. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it might offer a more effective and less toxic option compared to traditional chemotherapy and radiation therapies.
What evidence suggests that SHR-A1904 might be an effective treatment for advanced cancer?
Studies have shown promising results for SHR-A1904, a treatment for advanced solid tumors. This trial will evaluate SHR-A1904, which targets a protein called CLDN18.2, often found in certain cancers like stomach cancer. Earlier research found SHR-A1904 safe enough for patients to handle well. It also showed potential in reducing tumors in patients who had already tried other treatments. These early findings suggest SHR-A1904 may help shrink tumors in patients with advanced cancer.12345
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults over 18 with advanced solid tumors, specifically gastric/GEJ or pancreatic cancer that's resistant to standard treatments. They must have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, good performance status (able to carry out daily activities), and measurable tumor lesions. Women who can bear children need a negative pregnancy test and agree to use contraception.Inclusion Criteria
