What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common side effects of treatments for solid tumors, particularly those similar to magrolimab (an anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody) and docetaxel (a chemotherapy agent), include infusion-related reactions, fatigue, immune-related adverse events (such as colitis or pneumonitis), myelosuppression (neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia), alopecia, mucositis, peripheral neuropathy, and gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). Combining these treatments may increase the likelihood of these side effects, requiring careful monitoring and supportive care.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several treatments for solid tumors that involve monoclonal antibodies and chemotherapeutic agents. For instance, Pembrolizumab (Keytruda), a monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1, has been approved for various solid tumors, including melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer. Similarly, Bevacizumab (Avastin), an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody, is approved for colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and glioblastoma, among others. Docetaxel, a chemotherapeutic agent, is approved for use in breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, and gastric adenocarcinoma. These approvals highlight the FDA's recognition of the efficacy of combining monoclonal antibodies with chemotherapy in treating solid tumors.

What other types of research exist?

Promising alternatives for solid tumor treatment in 2024 include: 1) Pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint inhibitor) in combination with Lenvatinib, which has shown efficacy in endometrial cancer. 2) Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab, which has demonstrated effectiveness in renal cell carcinoma. 3) Nivolumab and Ipilimumab combination therapy, which has been effective in various cancers including renal cell carcinoma and mesothelioma.

Summary

This trial is testing a combination of magrolimab and docetaxel in patients with certain types of advanced cancers. Magrolimab helps the immune system fight cancer, while docetaxel kills cancer cells. The study aims to find out if this combination is safe and effective for patients whose cancers have spread and may not respond to standard treatments. Docetaxel has been widely used in various cancer treatments, including prostate and breast cancer, often in combination with other agents to improve efficacy and reduce side effects.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with certain advanced solid tumors who've had previous cancer treatments. They must be relatively healthy, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and agree to use birth control if necessary. People can't join if they have severe allergies to the drugs being tested, are in another clinical trial, need frequent blood transfusions, have serious health issues like heart failure or uncontrolled diabetes, active hepatitis B/C or HIV infections, recent hemolytic anemia or bleeding disorders.

What is being tested?

The study tests Magrolimab combined with Docetaxel in patients with solid tumors. It aims to find out how safe and effective this combination is when given together. The participants will receive specific dosages of both drugs and their response to treatment will be monitored over time.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the medication components, potential impact on liver and kidney function which will be closely monitored during the trial period. There may also be general side effects such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss from Docetaxel (a chemotherapy drug), and immune-related effects from Magrolimab.

Other Research

Magrolimab, an anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody, blocks the CD47 protein on cancer cells, promoting their phagocytosis by macrophages. Docetaxel, a chemotherapy agent, stabilizes microtubules, preventing cell division and leading to apoptosis. These mechanisms are important for solid tumor patients as they address both immune evasion and rapid cell proliferation, potentially improving treatment efficacy.
