What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that are similar to MYTX-011, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting the cMET receptor with monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), often cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea, peripheral neuropathy, and hematologic toxicities like neutropenia and anemia. Microtubule inhibitors, including MMAE, are particularly known for causing neuropathy, myelosuppression, and gastrointestinal disturbances.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

FDA-approved treatments for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) include various targeted therapies and immunotherapies. While specific ADCs targeting the cMET receptor like MYTX-011 are still under investigation, other ADCs and targeted therapies have been approved. For instance, pembrolizumab and atezolizumab are immunotherapies approved for NSCLC without EGFR mutations or ALK translocations. Additionally, targeted therapies such as entrectinib and larotrectinib have been approved for NTRK gene fusion-positive NSCLC. These treatments highlight the evolving landscape of NSCLC therapy, focusing on precision medicine and targeted approaches.

What other types of research exist?

Promising alternatives to MYTX-011 for NSCLC patients include: 1) Capmatinib and Tepotinib, which are MET inhibitors approved for MET exon-14-skipping mutations; 2) Rovalpituzumab tesirine, an ADC targeting DLL3, which may be effective in certain molecular subgroups of lung cancer; 3) UA62784, a potent microtubule polymerization inhibitor, though primarily studied in pancreatic cancer, it shows potential for broader applications.

Summary

This trial is testing MYTX-011, a new medication that targets advanced lung cancer cells with specific genetic markers. It uses an antibody to guide a powerful drug directly to the cancer cells to kill them.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have tried standard treatments. They must have measurable tumors, acceptable organ function, and agree to use birth control. People can't join if they've had recent major surgery, untreated brain metastases, significant liver disease, active infections needing IV treatment, or certain lung conditions.

What is being tested?

The study tests MYTX-011, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting cMET in NSCLC. It's given to see how safe it is and how well it works at different stages of the disease based on prior treatments and tumor characteristics like cMET expression levels.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal cells while targeting cancer cells; nerve damage; issues from drug infusion; and complications from affecting non-cancerous dividing cells.

Other Research

The most common treatments for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) include targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Targeted therapies, such as EGFR and ALK inhibitors, block specific proteins that promote cancer growth. Immunotherapies, like PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, boost the immune system's ability to detect and kill cancer cells. ADCs, such as MYTX-011, combine an antibody targeting a specific receptor (e.g., cMET) with a cytotoxic drug (e.g., monomethyl auristatin E) to deliver the drug directly to cancer cells, reducing harm to normal cells. These treatments are significant for NSCLC patients as they provide more personalized and potentially more effective options with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.
