What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for solid tumors, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, often result in side effects such as neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, hypertension, and skin reactions. Specific agents like gemcitabine and pemetrexed can cause significant hematologic toxicities, while immunotherapies like durvalumab may lead to pneumonitis, rash, and pruritus.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

Several FDA-approved treatments for solid tumors include enasidenib for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an IDH2 mutation, gemtuzumab ozogamicin for AML with CD33-expressing leukemic blasts, and pembrolizumab for advanced or metastatic melanoma. Additionally, treatments like pazopanib for soft tissue sarcoma and lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan for PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) have shown efficacy. These treatments, while varied in their mechanisms, represent the broad spectrum of FDA-approved therapies for advanced solid tumors.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives for solid tumor patients in 2024 include: <ol> <li>Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) - an immune checkpoint inhibitor used in combination with chemotherapy for various solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and gastric cancer.</li> <li></li> </ol> Nivolumab (Opdivo) - another immune checkpoint inhibitor, often used in combination with other therapies for cancers such as melanoma, esophageal cancer, and NSCLC. 3. Anamorelin - a ghrelin mimetic showing promise in managing cancer cachexia, particularly in NSCLC patients. 4. Infigratinib (TRUSELTIQ) - an FGFR-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor for cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements. 5. Futibatinib - another FGFR inhibitor recently approved for cholangiocarcinoma. These therapies represent significant advancements in the treatment of solid tumors and offer new hope for patients.

GI-102 for Advanced Cancer

Phase 1 & 2

Recruiting

Research Sponsored by GI Innovation, Inc.

Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Must have

Be older than 18 years old

Timeline

Screening 3 weeks

Treatment Varies

Follow Up 6-month, 12-month, and 18-month

Awards & highlights

No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial is testing GI-102, a new protein treatment, in patients with advanced or spreading tumors. The treatment aims to help the immune system fight cancer by boosting certain immune cells while avoiding those that suppress the response.

Who is the study for?

Adults with advanced solid tumors who have good organ and bone marrow function, measurable disease, a performance status indicating they can care for themselves (ECOG 0-1), and no severe recent side effects from past cancer treatments. HIV+ patients must be on effective ART. Not eligible if they have active brain metastases, another cancer, hepatitis B or C infections, tuberculosis, uncontrolled infections, recent immunotherapies like GI-102's action mode or any cancer treatment within the last month.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing GI-102 as a single agent to see how safe it is and how well it works against different types of advanced or spreading solid tumors. It will look at how the body processes the drug and its effectiveness in shrinking or controlling tumor growth.

What are the potential side effects?

Specific side effects of GI-102 are not listed but generally may include typical reactions such as fatigue, nausea, inflammation at injection sites, allergic reactions to components of the drug product/excipients of GI-102.

Other Research

Common treatments for solid tumors include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy works by killing rapidly dividing cells, which includes cancer cells, but can also affect normal cells, leading to side effects. Targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, specifically target molecular abnormalities in cancer cells, thereby minimizing damage to normal cells. Immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, enhances the body's immune response against cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy particles to damage the DNA of cancer cells, leading to cell death. These mechanisms are crucial for solid tumor patients as they offer multiple approaches to control and potentially eradicate tumors, improving survival and quality of life.
