UBX-303061 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores the safety and cancer-fighting effects of a new drug, UBX-303061, for individuals with certain B-cell cancers that have recurred or resisted treatment. The trial aims to assess the drug's effectiveness in aiding these patients. Candidates include those with B-cell cancers such as CLL, DLBCL, MCL, and others who have tried at least two unsuccessful treatments. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, assisting researchers in understanding its effects in humans.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop taking certain cancer treatments before starting the study drug. Specifically, you must not have had systemic cancer therapy, certain experimental therapies, or immunotherapy within a specified time before the first dose. Please consult with the trial team for details on your specific medications.
Is there any evidence suggesting that UBX-303061 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that UBX-303061 is undergoing its first human trials to assess safety. The researchers have not yet determined how well people can tolerate it. As this trial is in its early stages, the primary goal is to evaluate the treatment's safety for humans. Participants receive close monitoring for any side effects. Without specific safety data, the trial continues to determine the treatment's safety.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike standard cancer treatments that often rely on chemotherapy or radiation, UBX-303061 is unique because it uses a novel mechanism to target cancer cells. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it aims to attack tumors more precisely, potentially reducing harm to healthy cells and resulting in fewer side effects. This targeted approach may also enhance the effectiveness of treatment, offering hope for better outcomes in patients.
What evidence suggests that UBX-303061 might be an effective treatment for B-cell malignancies?
Research has shown that UBX-303061 targets and breaks down BTK proteins, which are often overly active in certain B-cell cancers. Studies suggest this treatment might be effective even when other treatments fail, particularly in cancers with mutations that resist other drugs. UBX-303061 operates differently from current BTK inhibitors, potentially overcoming resistance seen with other treatments. Early lab results show promise in fighting cancer cells, but information from human studies remains limited. This trial closely examines whether these promising effects hold true in people.12467
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with B-cell malignancies like CLL/SLL, DLBCL, FL, MCL, WM or MZL who have tried at least two other treatments and now have limited options. They must be able to consent to the study and have a performance status indicating they are still relatively active.Inclusion Criteria
