PF-07248144 + Fulvestrant for Breast Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment option for individuals with advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive) and HER2-negative. Researchers aim to determine if a combination of two medicines, PF-07248144 (an experimental treatment) and fulvestrant, is safe and effective compared to current treatments. Participants will receive either this new combination or continue with a standard treatment of everolimus and hormone therapy. Ideal participants have breast cancer that worsened after previous CDK 4/6 inhibitor therapy. As a Phase 3 trial, this study represents the final step before FDA approval, offering participants a chance to contribute to potentially groundbreaking treatment advancements.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study doctor, who can provide guidance based on your specific situation.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Previous studies have shown that the combination of PF-07248144 and fulvestrant is safe for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Research indicates that patients tolerated the treatment well, and positive responses occurred in those who had already received treatment for this cancer type. The optimal dose of PF-07248144 was determined to be 5 mg per day, with an acceptable safety profile. While some side effects may occur, they are manageable and not too severe. However, the safety and effectiveness of PF-07248144 remain under investigation, as it is not yet approved for general use.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for breast cancer?
Researchers are excited about PF-07248144 combined with fulvestrant for breast cancer because it targets cancer cells in a novel way. Unlike most treatments that focus on hormone receptors, PF-07248144 works by inhibiting specific proteins involved in cancer cell growth and survival, potentially offering a new approach for patients whose cancer has become resistant to standard hormone therapies. Additionally, the combination of a tablet (PF-07248144) and an injectable (fulvestrant) might provide a comprehensive treatment strategy, attacking the cancer on multiple fronts. This could be especially beneficial for those who have not responded well to traditional endocrine therapies like tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors.
What evidence suggests that PF-07248144 plus fulvestrant might be an effective treatment for advanced or metastatic breast cancer?
Research has shown that the combination of PF-07248144 and fulvestrant, which participants in this trial may receive, has positive effects in treating patients with estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Studies have found that this combination is safe and has led to positive responses in patients who have already tried other treatments. PF-07248144 blocks certain proteins, KAT6A and KAT6B, which help tumors grow. Early results suggest that targeting these proteins can slow cancer progression. Fulvestrant, a drug already used in breast cancer treatment, blocks estrogen receptors, reducing cancer cell growth. Overall, this new combination shows promise for patients with this type of advanced breast cancer.12346
