What is Mutamycin

Mitomycin

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Mitomycin is an antibiotic used to treat cancer. It was first discovered in the 1950s by Japanese microbiologists and works by inhibiting the replication of DNA. It is an alkylating agent, which means it creates a cross-link between the two strands of the DNA double helix. Few other antibiotics have this same type of effect, making it a rare and unique treatment option. Mitomycin has been approved for use in a variety of cancers, as well as to reduce eye pressure during certain surgeries.

How Mutamycin Affects Patients

Mitomycin is an older chemotherapy drug that has been used for many years. It is an antibiotic and can help fight tumors. Mitomycin works by blocking DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. It also can prevent cells such as B cells, T cells, and macrophages from growing, and can stop certain substances like interferon gamma, TNFa, and IL-2 from being released.

How Mutamycin works in the body

Mitomycin is activated in the body to a form that binds to DNA and prevents it from functioning properly. This binding causes areas of the DNA to link together, preventing it from replicating. Mitomycin works in all phases of the cell cycle and doesn't discriminate against any.

Mutamycin for Cancer of the Bladder

The doctor administered this treatment via a catheter, which was uncomfortable but not painful. A few days after each treatment, I experienced a low-grade fever--this happened after every single treatment. I received six treatments in total, on a weekly basis. It's too soon to tell if the treatment was effective or not.

Telisotuzumab Vedotin + Osimertinib for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

18+
All Sexes
Los Angeles, CA

This phase II trial tests how well telisotuzumab vedotin and osimertinib works for the treatment of non small cell lung cancer that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) and for which no treatment is currently available (incurable). Telisotuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, called telisotuzumab, linked to a toxic agent, called vedotin. Telisotuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as c-Met receptors, and delivers vedotin to kill them. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving telisotuzumab vedotin and osimertinib may be effective for treating progressive, incurable non small cell lung cancer.

Gemcitabine + Docetaxel for Bladder Cancer

18 - 99
All Sexes
Iowa City, IA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, Gemcitabine and Docetaxel, can treat high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HG-NMIBC) in adults whose cancer failed conventional BCG therapy. The drugs are given directly into the bladder (intravesically), one immediately after the other. The study will also assess the safety of this treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can this drug combination effectively treat HG-NMIBC that did not respond to BCG and help prevent the cancer from coming back, offering long-term protection? What side effects or medical issues do participants experience during treatment? Researchers will evaluate this non-surgical approach as a potential alternative to bladder removal surgery (radical cystectomy), with the goal of validating it as a bladder-sparing option in this setting. Participants will: * Go through a screening process, including tumor removal and imaging tests * Receive weekly bladder treatments with Gemcitabine followed by Docetaxel for 6 weeks * If the cancer responds, continue with similar once monthly treatments (maintenance therapy) for up to 2 years * Attend regular check-ups, including bladder exams, urine tests, biopsies, and optional quality-of-life surveys * Possibly receive a second 6-week treatment cycle if the cancer returns early * Be followed for up to 5 years to monitor long-term outcomes

Immunotherapy Biomarkers for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

18+
All Sexes
Goodyear, AZ

This phase II trial tests the impact of biomarkers in predicting initial treatment (first-line) PD1 or PD-L1 (PD\[L\]-1)-based immunotherapy response and in selecting second-line treatment in patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Response and survival rates in advanced stage NSCLC, unlike other cancers, rely on response to first-line therapy. Immunotherapy with PD(L)1-based therapy, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. While immunotherapy has improved survival rate, the prognosis remains poor with most patients receiving chemotherapy after immunotherapy. Many types of tumors tend to lose cells or release different types of cellular products including their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which is referred to as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) into the bloodstream before changes can be seen on scans. Health care providers can measure the level of ctDNA in blood or other bodily fluids to determine which patients are at higher risk for disease progression or relapse. The first part of this trial, studying samples of blood and tissue in the laboratory from patients receiving immunotherapy may help doctors learn more about the effects PD(L)1-based therapy on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment and may help develop new individualized treatment strategies. The second part of this trial also tests the effect of second-line immunotherapy, such as tremelimumab and durvalumab or adagrasib and bevacizumab, in treating patients with NSCLC with specific genetic mutations that is growing, spreading or getting worse (progressive). Tremelimumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adagrasib, a type of targeted therapy, may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking a protein needed for tumor cell growth and may kill them. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving second-line immunotherapy, tremelimumab and durvalumab or adagrasib with bevacizumab, may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC with specific genetic mutations.

ANS014004 + EGFR-TKI for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

18+
All Sexes
New York, NY

Protocol Title A Study to Evaluate ANS014004 in Combination with EGFR-TKI in Patients with EGFR Mutation-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer The main purpose of this research study is to Find a safe and tolerable dose of two investigational drugs, ANS014004 and PLB1004, when used together. Learn how effective this drug combination is at treating a type of lung cancer called "EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)" that has spread to other parts of the body (locally advanced or metastatic). This study is trying to answer the following questions: Safety \& Dosing: What are the side effects of combining ANS014004 and PLB1004? What is the best dose to use that patients can tolerate well? Effectiveness: Can this combination of drugs help shrink patients' tumors or stop them from growing? Background Information For patients with advanced lung cancer that has a specific gene change called an "EGFR mutation," targeted therapies known as EGFR-TKIs are a standard treatment. While these treatments often work well at first, most tumors eventually stop responding to the drug (this is called "acquired resistance"). The investigational drug ANS014004 is designed to block a protein called MET, which is one of the ways that tumors become resistant to EGFR-TKIs. The researchers believe that by combining ANS014004 with the EGFR-TKI PLB1004, they may be able to prevent or delay resistance, offering patients a more effective and longer-lasting treatment option. How will the study be conducted? This study is divided into two parts: Part 1 (Dose Escalation and Optimization): A small number of participants will receive different dose levels of ANS014004 combined with a fixed dose of PLB1004. The goal is to find the safest and most tolerable dose combination. Part 2 (Phase II Study): Once a recommended dose is identified, more participants will be enrolled to further evaluate how well the drug combination works against the cancer. Throughout the study, participants' health will be closely monitored, and their tumors will be measured regularly using imaging scans (like CT scans) to see how they respond to the treatment.
