Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot take certain medications like strong inhibitors or inducers of specific enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP2C19, CYP2C9) and proton pump inhibitors. It's best to discuss your current medications with the study team.

What makes the drug Sapanisertib unique for treating bladder cancer?

Sapanisertib is unique because it targets the mTOR pathway, which is involved in cell growth and survival, offering a different mechanism of action compared to traditional chemotherapy and other targeted therapies like tyrosine kinase inhibitors or immune checkpoint inhibitors. This could provide a novel approach for patients with bladder cancer, especially those who do not respond to existing treatments.12345

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial studies how well sapanisertib works in treating patients with advanced or metastatic bladder cancer that have specific genetic mutations. Sapanisertib is taken by mouth and aims to stop cancer cell growth by blocking necessary enzymes.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic bladder cancer that has specific genetic mutations (TSC1/TSC2). Participants must have had progression after platinum-based chemotherapy, be unfit for such treatment, or have recurred within 12 months of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy. They should not have received certain recent treatments and must be able to take oral medication and sign consent.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients must have a specific amount of disease that can be measured using a standard method.
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
My tumor has a TSC1 or TSC2 mutation, confirmed by a certified lab.

Trial Overview The trial tests Sapanisertib's effectiveness on bladder cancer with TSC1/TSC2 mutations. It's a phase II study to see if the drug can halt tumor growth by inhibiting enzymes needed for cell proliferation. Patients will receive Sapanisertib orally to assess its impact on their disease.
