What is the mechanism of action of this treatment?

The most common treatments for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Chemotherapy kills rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. Immunotherapy, such as monoclonal antibodies like rituximab, targets specific proteins on lymphoma cells, marking them for destruction by the immune system. Targeted therapies, such as kinase inhibitors, block specific molecules involved in cancer cell growth and survival. Emerging treatments like NX-1607, which is being studied for advanced malignancies, may offer new mechanisms of action by targeting specific pathways or proteins involved in cancer progression. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for NHL patients as it helps in selecting the most effective treatment based on the specific characteristics of their lymphoma, potentially improving outcomes and minimizing side effects.

What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, have a range of side effects. Chemotherapy often results in nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue, and increased infection risk due to lowered blood cell counts. Immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors, can cause immune-related adverse effects like colitis, pneumonitis, and dermatitis. Targeted therapies may lead to hypertension, liver toxicity, and gastrointestinal issues. These side effects are important considerations when evaluating treatment options for advanced malignancies similar to those targeted by NX-1607.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several treatments for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL), including monoclonal antibodies like rituximab, which targets the CD20 protein on B cells, and CAR-T cell therapies such as axicabtagene ciloleucel and tisagenlecleucel, which modify a patient's T cells to attack cancer cells. Additionally, small molecule inhibitors like ibrutinib, which targets Bruton's tyrosine kinase, and lenalidomide, an immunomodulatory drug, have been approved. These treatments are designed to target specific pathways or proteins involved in the growth and survival of lymphoma cells, similar to the investigational agent NX-1607, which is being studied for its anti-cancer activity in advanced malignancies.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to NX-1607 for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma patients include CAR T-cell therapies such as axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta) and tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah), bispecific antibodies like mosunetuzumab, and novel antibody-drug conjugates such as polatuzumab vedotin. These therapies have shown significant efficacy in clinical trials and are expected to be key treatment options in 2024.

Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial

Must have

Minimum of 3 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) since last dose of systemic cancer therapy (unless otherwise specified) or minimum of 2 weeks since last radiotherapy, or minimum of 6 weeks since last systemic therapy with nitrosoureas, antibody-drug conjugate, or radio immuno-conjugate therapy

Summary

This trial is testing NX-1607, a new experimental drug, in adults with advanced cancers that don't respond to standard treatments. The goal is to see if NX-1607 can safely stop or reduce cancer growth, either by itself or with another drug called paclitaxel. Paclitaxel is a widely used anti-cancer drug for treating various types of solid malignant tumors including breast, ovarian, and lung cancers.

Who is the study for?

Adults with certain advanced cancers (like ovarian, stomach, lung, prostate cancer and more) who have tried standard treatments without success or can't receive them. They must be over 18, not pregnant or breastfeeding, willing to use contraception and follow study rules. People with active brain metastases, recent major surgery or immunotherapy side effects are excluded.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing NX-1607 alone or with Paclitaxel in patients with various advanced malignancies. It's a first-in-human study assessing safety and how well the drug works against cancer.

What are the potential side effects?

Specific side effects of NX-1607 aren't listed but may include typical reactions to cancer drugs like nausea, fatigue, allergic responses and potential risks associated with new investigational medications.
