A Study of Tulmimetostat DZR123 (CPI-0209) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors and Lymphomas
This research study is investigating a new medication called Tulmimetostat (also known as DZR123 or CPI-0209) for adults battling advanced cancers, including certain solid tumours and lymphomas. It's being carried out in two main parts, Phase 1 and Phase 2. In Phase 1, the focus is on finding the safest and most effective dose of Tulmimetostat when given on its own. Researchers will carefully watch for any side effects and how well patients tolerate the medicine. Phase 2 then looks at how safe and effective Tulmimetostat is in specific types of cancer. For some patients, it will test Tulmimetostat by itself, and for others, it might be given alongside an existing medicine called Enzalutamide. The overall aim is to see if this new treatment can help manage these advanced cancers.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This research study is exploring a new medicine called Tulmimetostat (you might also see it as DZR123 or CPI-0209) that could potentially help people with various advanced cancers. These include certain solid tumours that have spread, different types of lymphoma (which are cancers of the immune system), and specific cancers like mesothelioma, prostate cancer (that hasn't responded to other treatments), endometrial cancer, and a type of ovarian cancer.
The study is divided into two main stages, called Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 is like the initial testing stage, focusing on finding the right amount of Tulmimetostat to give to patients. Doctors will start with a small dose and gradually increase it, always making sure it's as safe as possible and checking for any side effects. The goal is to discover the best dose that patients can handle well.
Once the safest dose is identified, the study moves into Phase 2. Here, the research will look more closely at how well Tulmimetostat works against specific types of cancer. For some patients, Tulmimetostat will be given on its own, and for others, it might be tested alongside another treatment called Enzalutamide, especially for prostate cancer. The overall aim is to understand if Tulmimetostat can shrink tumours or stop them from growing, and to continue monitoring its safety.
Key takeaways
- Tests a new medicine, Tulmimetostat, for advanced cancers.
- Checks safety, side effects, and if it helps control cancer.
- For specific advanced solid tumours and lymphomas.
- May involve Tulmimetostat alone or with Enzalutamide.
- Participation requires regular check-ups and monitoring.
Who may be eligible?
To join this study, generally, you need to be an adult with a confirmed advanced cancer, either a solid tumour or a type of lymphoma, that hasn't responded well to standard treatments, or where no other good treatments are available.
For some parts of the study, specifically for patients with certain solid tumours, ovarian cancer, or endometrial cancer, doctors will need to check if your cancer has a particular genetic change called an ARID1A mutation. Also, the cancer needs to be actively measurable using scans.
If you have a type of lymphoma (either PTCL or DLBCL), you would need to have already tried a certain number of other treatments. For prostate cancer, you'd need to have a specific type that hasn't responded to previous hormone therapy or chemotherapy. For mesothelioma, you'd also need to have tried at least one earlier treatment.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Are you an adult aged 18 or over?
- Do you have an advanced solid tumour or lymphoma?
- Has your cancer progressed on standard treatments, or are there no other good options?
- Are you able to attend regular clinic visits and appointments?
- For some cancers, has your doctor confirmed specific genetic changes (like ARID1A mutation)?
What does participation involve?
The study involves taking either the new medicine, Tulmimetostat, on its own or sometimes alongside Enzalutamide. Your participation will involve regular visits to the clinic for medical check-ups, blood tests, and scans to monitor your health and how the treatment is working. Some parts of the study might involve deciding randomly which dose or combination of medicines you receive. The exact number of visits and the total length of your participation will depend on which part of the study you're in and how you respond to the treatment, but visits will be regular, and you'll be closely monitored throughout.
