Brigimadlin for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to assess how well patients with solid tumors tolerate long-term treatment with brigimadlin, a new cancer drug. Participants take brigimadlin tablets at the study site every three weeks, while doctors monitor their health and check the tumor's status during visits. This trial suits those who have received brigimadlin in a previous study and continue to benefit without severe side effects. As a Phase 2 trial, this research measures the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, offering participants a chance to contribute to important findings.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but it mentions that participants should not receive restricted medications or any drug that might interfere with the trial. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team to see if they are allowed.
Is there any evidence suggesting that brigimadlin is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that brigimadlin is generally safe for patients with various types of cancer. Studies involving patients with advanced or spreading solid tumors indicate that this treatment is usually well-tolerated. Most side effects can be managed, and the treatment has shown promise in slowing tumor growth.
In earlier studies, common side effects included anemia (a low count of red blood cells) and other manageable conditions. These side effects were usually more severe but not common for most patients. Overall, brigimadlin remains under study due to its potential benefits and the manageable nature of its side effects.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Brigimadlin is unique because it's designed to target cancer cells by reactivating the p53 protein, a crucial tumor suppressor that is often inactivated in various cancers. Most current treatments for cancer, such as chemotherapy and radiation, focus on killing rapidly dividing cells but can also harm healthy cells. Brigimadlin aims to specifically restore the function of p53 in cancer cells, potentially leading to more precise and less toxic treatment options. Researchers are excited about this treatment as it offers a new mechanism of action that could improve outcomes for patients with cancers resistant to traditional therapies.
What evidence suggests that brigimadlin might be an effective treatment for cancer?
Research has shown that brigimadlin, the treatment under study in this trial, may help shrink tumors and control cancer. In one study, a patient’s tumor size was reduced by nearly 49%. Another study found that 11.1% of patients responded well, with significant tumor shrinkage. Additionally, 74.1% of patients maintained disease control, preventing it from worsening. Brigimadlin blocks a protein called MDM2, which helps stop cancer cells from growing. These findings suggest brigimadlin could be effective for certain types of cancer.12367
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with solid tumors who were in a previous brigimadlin study can join. They must be able to continue treatment, have signed consent, use effective birth control, and follow the trial's procedures. Their organs must work well and any past treatment side effects should be mild.Inclusion Criteria
