What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for solid tumors, particularly those targeting tumor growth or survival pathways like BGB-24714, often include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Known side effects include myelosuppression (neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia), gastrointestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation), fatigue, neuropathy, and skin reactions. Targeted therapies and immunotherapies can also cause specific toxicities such as hypertension, hypothyroidism, and immune-related adverse events like pneumonitis, colitis, and hepatitis.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several anti-cancer agents for the treatment of solid tumors that target tumor growth or survival pathways. Notable examples include tyrosine kinase inhibitors like pazopanib and sunitinib, which inhibit multiple receptor tyrosine kinases involved in tumor growth and angiogenesis. Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab, which target PD-1/PD-L1 pathways to enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer, have also been approved. Additionally, bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF antibody, is used to inhibit angiogenesis in various solid tumors. These agents represent a broad spectrum of targeted therapies aimed at disrupting key pathways essential for tumor survival and proliferation.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to BGB-24714 for solid tumor patients include multitargeted kinase inhibitors such as regorafenib, cabozantinib, sorafenib, and lenvatinib. These agents target VEGFR and other kinases and have shown some activity in advanced solid tumors. Additionally, immune checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab and nivolumab, often used in combination with other therapies, are also promising options.

Eligibility Criteria Checklist

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

Must have

Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor previously treated with standard systemic therapy or for whom treatment is not available or not tolerated.

Patients must be able to provide an archived formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue sample. If archival tissue is not available, fresh tumor biopsy is mandatory.

Summary

This trial is testing a drug called BGB-24714, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors. The goal is to find the highest safe dose to use in future studies.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have grown or spread despite standard treatments, or when no treatment options are available. Participants must be in relatively good health and physical condition (ECOG ≤1), able to provide a tumor tissue sample, and not have had certain other cancers or major surgeries recently. They also can't be on steroids or similar meds within 14 days of starting the study.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing BGB-24714's safety and tolerability as a standalone treatment and alongside chemotherapy drugs like Carboplatin and Paclitaxel, as well as radiation therapy. It aims to find the highest dose patients can take without severe side effects for future studies.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site, fatigue, nausea, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, nerve damage causing numbness or tingling sensations, hair loss due to chemotherapy agents like Carboplatin and Paclitaxel.

Other Research

Common treatments for solid tumors include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Chemotherapy works by killing rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, but can also affect normal cells, leading to side effects. Targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, specifically target molecules involved in tumor growth and survival pathways, thereby minimizing damage to normal cells. Immunotherapy boosts the body's immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. These mechanisms are crucial for solid tumor patients as they offer more precise and potentially less toxic treatment options, improving outcomes and quality of life. Investigational agents like BGB-24714, which target specific tumor growth or survival pathways, represent a promising advancement in this therapeutic landscape.
