BI 1810631 for Advanced Cancer
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a new medicine called BI 1810631, which is taken as tablets. It targets adults with advanced cancers that have specific genetic changes and have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if it can help shrink tumors.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but it mentions that patients who need to continue restricted medications or drugs that might interfere with the trial cannot participate. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the study team.
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug BI 1810631 for advanced cancer?
Research on similar drugs, like poziotinib, shows promising results in treating cancers with HER2 mutations, which are similar to the target of BI 1810631. These drugs have shown effectiveness in non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer by targeting the HER2 protein, which is involved in cancer growth.12345
