What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common side effects of treatments for solid tumors, particularly those involving anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies like Tislelizumab, include immune-related adverse events such as pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, endocrinopathies (e.g., hypothyroidism), and skin reactions (e.g., rash). Chemotherapy, often used in combination with these immunotherapies, can cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue, myelosuppression (leading to anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia), and increased risk of infections. The combination of these therapies aims to enhance anti-tumor efficacy but also requires careful management of the associated toxicities.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

FDA approvals for the treatment of solid tumors have included several anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies, such as Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab. These drugs have been approved for various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and melanoma, based on their demonstrated improvements in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Additionally, combinations of anti-PD-1 therapies with chemotherapy or other immunotherapies have also been approved to enhance treatment efficacy in advanced solid tumors.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives for solid tumor patients include: 1) Atezolizumab (Anti-PD-L1) in combination with chemotherapy, which has shown improved overall survival in various cancers. 2) Pembrolizumab (Anti-PD-1) combined with chemotherapy, which has demonstrated efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors. 3) Bispecific antibodies, such as those targeting T-cells and tumor antigens, which are emerging as competitors to CAR T-cell therapies. 4) Novel agents targeting immune checkpoints or tumor-specific pathways, such as nivolumab (Anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (Anti-CTLA-4) combinations, which have shown promise in renal cell carcinoma and other cancers.

BGB-15025 + Tislelizumab for Advanced Cancers

Phase 1

Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial

Must have

Phase 1b (dose expansion): Participant with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced, metastatic, and unresectable solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, esophageal cancer or gastric/Gastroesophageal junction cancer (other solid tumors may be included) who have progressed following systemic anticancer therapies or have no prior systemic treatment for advanced disease

Phase 1a (dose escalation): Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced, metastatic, and unresectable solid tumors who have previously received standard systemic therapy or for whom treatment is not available, not tolerated or refused, and who have not received prior therapy targeting HPK1

Timeline

Screening 3 weeks

Treatment Varies

Follow Up up to 3 years

Awards & highlights

No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, BGB-15025, alone and with an immune-boosting drug, tislelizumab, in patients with advanced cancer. The goal is to see if these treatments are safe and to find the best dose.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors, including lung, esophageal, or stomach cancers that have worsened after treatment or haven't been treated yet. They must be relatively healthy (ECOG ≤ 1) and have at least one tumor that can be measured. People who've had prior HPK1-targeted therapy or don't meet specific blood and organ function tests cannot join.

What is being tested?

The study is testing the safety of a new drug called BGB-15025 alone and when used with Tislelizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. It aims to find the highest dose patients can take without serious side effects and suggest doses for future Phase 2 trials.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include typical reactions to cancer drugs such as fatigue, nausea, skin issues, immune system responses like inflammation in various organs, potential liver enzyme changes indicated by blood tests, and other symptoms based on individual tolerance.

Other Research

Common treatments for solid tumors often include immune checkpoint inhibitors like Tislelizumab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. Tislelizumab blocks the PD-1 pathway, which tumors use to evade the immune system, thereby reactivating T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. This targeted approach is significant for solid tumor patients as it enhances the body's immune response against cancer. Emerging therapies like BGB-15025, though their mechanisms are still under investigation, are being studied for their potential to improve treatment outcomes when used alone or in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
