What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for solid tumors, including chemotherapeutic agents like gemcitabine and paclitaxel, and targeted therapies, often result in side effects such as neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, fatigue, neuropathy, diarrhea, and nausea. Immune checkpoint inhibitors can additionally cause hypertension, hypothyroidism, and immune-related adverse events like pneumonitis and rash.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several treatments for solid tumors that involve novel anti-cancer agents and combination therapies. For instance, pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, has been approved for various solid tumors, including metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma, often in combination with other agents like bevacizumab. Another example is the combination of gemcitabine and pemetrexed for peritoneal mesothelioma. These approvals highlight the trend towards using combination therapies to enhance treatment efficacy in solid tumors.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to GS-9716 for solid tumor patients include LY2090314, a GSK-3 inhibitor that has shown significant growth reduction in neuroblastoma cell lines, and SR18662, a small-molecule inhibitor that has demonstrated efficient growth inhibition of colorectal cancer in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug called GS-9716 in patients with advanced solid cancers. The goal is to find the highest safe dose and see if it causes any serious side effects, both alone and with other treatments.

See full description

Who is the study for?

Adults with advanced solid tumors who have tried at least one standard treatment or for whom no standard treatment is suitable. They must be in fairly good physical condition (ECOG status of 0 or 1), have a certain level of heart, kidney, and liver function, and cannot have untreated brain metastases or serious health conditions like active hepatitis B/C or autoimmune diseases.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

GS-9716 is being tested alone and alongside other cancer drugs to find the highest dose patients can take without severe side effects. The trial will also look at how well GS-9716 works as a single agent versus when combined with established cancer treatments in people with various types of solid tumors.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is an early-phase trial to determine safety, specific side effects are not listed but may include typical reactions to cancer therapies such as nausea, fatigue, blood count changes, potential organ inflammation, allergic reactions to the drug infusion, and increased risk of infections.

Other Research

Common treatments for solid tumors include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Chemotherapy works by killing rapidly dividing cells, which includes cancer cells, but also affects 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 checkpoint inhibitors like anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4, enhances the body's immune response against cancer cells. These treatments are crucial for solid tumor patients as they offer different mechanisms to control or eliminate cancer, potentially improving survival and quality of life.
