What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to test a new drug, SGR-3515, to determine its effects on advanced solid tumors (large masses of cancer cells). Researchers seek to understand if this drug can serve as a useful treatment option for these types of cancers. Suitable participants have advanced cancer that has spread and can be measured by doctors.

As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding how it works in people.

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 must not have received any systemic anti-cancer treatments or investigational agents within 21 days before starting the study drug.

Is there any evidence suggesting that SGR-3515 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research shows that SGR-3515 is a new treatment under exploration for advanced cancer. So far, researchers have tested SGR-3515 only in labs, not in people. These lab studies suggest that SGR-3515 can effectively fight tumors.

As a Phase 1 trial, this will be the first time SGR-3515 is tested in humans. The main goal is to assess its safety and determine the right dose. Specific safety information in humans is not yet available, but this phase focuses on understanding human reactions to the treatment and monitoring for any side effects. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Researchers are excited about SGR-3515 for advanced cancer because it represents a new approach compared to traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. SGR-3515 is unique because it targets cancer cells more precisely, potentially minimizing damage to healthy cells and reducing side effects. Additionally, it operates through a novel mechanism that may overcome resistance seen with current therapies, offering new hope for patients who have limited options.

What evidence suggests that SGR-3515 might be an effective treatment for advanced cancer?

Research has shown that SGR-3515, the investigational treatment in this trial, could help treat advanced solid tumors. Early studies suggest that SGR-3515 outperforms some current treatments against tumors. Specifically, it has shown better results than other drugs targeting proteins called Wee1 and Myt1, which are involved in cell growth. This suggests that SGR-3515 might effectively slow down or stop tumor growth. It is designed to work well while causing fewer side effects, such as blood problems, which are common with similar drugs. These findings offer hope that SGR-3515 could be a strong option for fighting advanced cancers. ^{3 4 6 7 8}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that can be measured, who are fairly active (can care for themselves), and have good organ function. Women able to have children and men must agree to use effective birth control during the study and for 3 months after.

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a phase II trial involving 30 patients with advanced solid tumors harboring TSC1/TSC2 or MTOR mutations, everolimus showed a low objective response rate of only 7%, indicating limited efficacy for this treatment in the selected patient population.

The most common side effect was mucositis, experienced by 27% of patients, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of adverse events during treatment, although one patient suffered a fatal pneumonitis.

Phase II Clinical Trial of Everolimus in a Pan-Cancer Cohort of Patients with mTOR Pathway Alterations. Adib, E., Klonowska, K., Giannikou, K., et al.[2022]

mTOR inhibitors, such as rapamycin and its derivatives, are being studied as promising anticancer treatments due to their role in controlling malignant cell growth, with clinical trials showing they are well tolerated by patients.

These inhibitors may lead to prolonged stable disease and tumor regressions, particularly in patients whose cancer is linked to the activation of the PI3K pathway or abnormal expression of certain proteins.

In a phase II trial involving 10 patients with advanced solid tumors and specific genetic alterations, everolimus did not show significant anti-tumor activity, as no complete or partial responses were observed, and the study did not progress to the second stage.

Despite the lack of efficacy, everolimus was well-tolerated, with no severe toxicities reported, indicating a safety profile that warrants further exploration with different treatment strategies.

In a Phase 1b study involving 110 patients with advanced solid tumors, gedatolisib combined with cisplatin showed promising clinical activity in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with an overall response rate of 40% in first-line treatment and 33.3% in second/third-line treatment.

The combination therapy was generally well-tolerated, with only 10% of evaluable patients experiencing dose-limiting toxicities, primarily grade 3 oral mucositis, indicating a manageable safety profile for further investigation.

In a trial involving 41 patients with advanced soft tissue sarcomas, temsirolimus showed limited efficacy, with only 5% of patients achieving a confirmed partial response, and a median overall survival of 7.6 months.

The treatment was associated with moderate toxicities, as 43% of patients experienced grade 3 or higher adverse events, indicating that while temsirolimus may have some activity, its safety profile raises concerns.
