Targeted Therapy + Immunotherapy for Advanced Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial examines the effectiveness of certain targeted drugs and immunotherapies for individuals with advanced cancer that cannot be surgically removed or has spread. It aims to determine the safety and efficacy of these treatments by matching them to the genetic changes in a person's tumor. The trial includes several groups, each focusing on different genetic alterations in the cancer, so the treatment received will depend on these specific changes. Suitable candidates have tumors that have spread or cannot be removed and have shown specific genetic changes in tests. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on measuring the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.
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 cannot have had any anticancer treatment within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives before starting the study treatment.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that entrectinib is generally well-tolerated in patients with advanced solid tumors, including those with specific genetic fusions. One study found that taking 600 mg/day of entrectinib is safe, with common side effects like mild to moderate tiredness or dizziness being manageable. Serious side effects are rare and often depend on the individual's health.
For alectinib, research indicates it is safe for treating tumors with ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) changes. Patients usually handle it well, with most side effects being mild, such as constipation or swelling. Severe side effects are uncommon but can include liver issues.
Atezolizumab, an immunotherapy, has a safety record based on data from thousands of patients. It is mostly well-tolerated, with some patients experiencing side effects like tiredness or reduced appetite. Serious side effects are rare and can include immune-related responses affecting organs.
Ipatasertib has shown a manageable safety profile in people with certain gene mutations. It is generally safe, with side effects like diarrhea or vomiting being the most reported. These are usually mild or moderate.
Trastuzumab emtansine, used for treating HER2-positive cancers, is FDA-approved and generally safe. Common side effects include tiredness and nausea, while serious side effects like liver damage are rare.
Inavolisib has been tested and shown to be well-tolerated. Its safety profile indicates few severe side effects, with common ones being mild, such as nausea or tiredness.
Belvarafenib is another drug with a favorable safety profile. Patients typically experience mild side effects like rash or joint pain. Serious side effects are rare.
Pralsetinib is FDA-approved for certain cancers and is generally safe. Most side effects are mild, such as high blood pressure or tiredness. Severe side effects are uncommon but can include liver problems.
These treatments have been tested in various studies, showing they are generally safe and well-tolerated for most patients. However, individual experiences can vary, and discussing any concerns with healthcare providers is important.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about these treatments because they offer targeted approaches for advanced cancer, focusing on specific genetic mutations. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which can affect both healthy and cancerous cells, these investigational therapies target precise genetic alterations. Entrectinib, for example, is designed for ROS1 and NTRK fusion-positive tumors, aiming directly at the fusion proteins that drive cancer growth. Alectinib targets ALK fusion-positive tumors with a unique mechanism that specifically inhibits ALK activity. These targeted therapies are promising because they offer the potential for more effective treatment with potentially fewer side effects by honing in on the cancer's unique genetic makeup.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for advanced cancer?
In this trial, participants will receive treatments based on specific genetic changes in their tumors. Entrectinib, administered to participants in Cohorts A and B, previously helped 81.1% of patients with tumors having NTRK and ROS1 fusions. Alectinib, given to participants in Cohort C, has slowed cancer spread and improved survival in some cancer types. Atezolizumab, used in Cohort D, works well for tumors with many mutations, leading to long-lasting effects. Ipatasertib, provided to participants in Cohort E, has effectively shrunk tumors with specific genetic changes. Pralsetinib, used in Cohort K, showed a 46.4% success rate in treating tumors with RET fusions. Each treatment targets specific genetic changes, offering hope for personalized cancer care.678910

Trial Overview
The TAPISTRY trial is testing how well different targeted therapies or immunotherapies work for patients whose tumors have certain genomic alterations or high mutation burdens. Patients receive personalized treatment based on their tumor's genetic profile, which could include drugs like Ipatasertib, Atezolizumab, etc., alone or combined.
