A Study of LY4175408 in Participants With Advanced Cancer

This research study is investigating a new medication called LY4175408 for people who have advanced cancer. The types of cancer include non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, womb cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer. Researchers want to find out if LY4175408 is safe to use and how effective it is in treating these cancers. They will also study how the body takes in, breaks down, and gets rid of the medicine. In some parts of the study, the new medicine might be given alongside existing treatments like Pembrolizumab, Carboplatin, or Cisplatin. Taking part in this study could last up to four years.

What is this study about?

This study is exploring a new medicine named LY4175408 for adults living with certain advanced cancers. These include specific types of lung cancer (non-small cell and small cell), womb cancer, and a particular kind of breast cancer called triple-negative breast cancer. When cancer is 'advanced', it means it has grown or spread beyond its original site.

The main goals are to understand if LY4175408 is safe for patients, how well it might work against the cancer, and how the body processes the medication. In some cases, LY4175408 may be tested on its own, while in others, it might be given together with standard treatments like Pembrolizumab, Carboplatin, or Cisplatin. These are medicines already used to treat cancer.

Finding new and effective treatments is crucial for people with advanced cancers where current options may be limited or have stopped working. This kind of early-stage research is an important step in potentially offering new hope for patients in the future.

Key takeaways

  • This is an early-stage (Phase 1) study for a new cancer medicine, LY4175408.
  • It's for people with specific advanced cancers: lung (non-small cell and small cell), womb, and triple-negative breast cancer.
  • The main goals are to check the medicine's safety and how the body handles it.
  • Participation could involve regular hospital visits, blood tests, and scans over up to four years.
  • The new medicine may be given alone or with existing cancer treatments.
  • You can discuss with your doctor if your previous cancer treatments affect your eligibility.

Who may be eligible?

To join this study, you must have an advanced or spread solid tumour of a specific type: non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, womb cancer, or triple-negative breast cancer. For most participants, you should have already tried all standard treatments that your doctor thought were suitable for you, or there aren't any more standard treatments available, or you've chosen not to have them. Some participants in specific groups, however, might be able to join without having had previous treatment for advanced cancer, especially for certain non-small cell lung cancers.

You also need to be generally well enough to take part, as assessed by a quick check of your daily activity level. For some parts of the study, doctors will need to be able to measure your cancer on scans. For specific groups with non-small cell lung cancer, there should be no known genetic changes that other medicines could target, and you might have had limited or no previous treatment for advanced cancer.

You would not be able to join if you have certain other health conditions, such as a history of uncontrolled cancer spread to the brain or spine, serious ongoing infections (like bacterial or viral), or significant heart problems. Also, if you've recently had a certain type of related cancer drug, or have serious side effects that haven't cleared up from previous treatments, this study might not be right for you.

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.

  1. Do I have advanced non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, womb cancer, or triple-negative breast cancer?
  2. Have I already tried all standard treatments or are there no more available for my type of cancer?
  3. Am I generally well enough to manage my daily activities?
  4. Do I have any serious, untreated infections or significant heart problems?
  5. Have I recently received similar types of cancer treatments that might exclude me?
Answer every question to see your result.

What does participation involve?

If you decide to take part, the study could last for up to four years. You would receive the study medicine, LY4175408, and potentially other standard cancer treatments. You'll have regular visits to the hospital for checks, which will include blood tests to see how your body is reacting to the medicine and how it's being processed. Scans will also be done to monitor your cancer. The healthcare team will tell you how often these visits will be and what will be involved. Throughout the study, you'll be carefully monitored for any side effects.

Potential risks and benefits

Taking part in this study may offer the potential benefit of accessing a new treatment that isn't widely available yet, which could help manage your cancer. However, as LY4175408 is an investigational drug, there's a chance it might not help your cancer, or it could cause side effects that we don't fully know about yet. All medicines carry some risks, and the study team will monitor you carefully for any problems. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without it affecting your usual medical care.

Common questions

What is 'advanced cancer'?

Advanced cancer means that the cancer has either grown significantly in its original location or has spread to other parts of the body.

What does 'Phase 1' mean for a trial?

Phase 1 is the first step where a new medicine is tested on people. The main goals are to check if it's safe and to find the right dose, rather than primarily seeing how well it works at this early stage.

What is 'triple-negative breast cancer'?

Triple-negative breast cancer is a specific type of breast cancer that doesn't have common receptors (like oestrogen, progesterone, or HER2 receptors) that many other breast cancers do, which means certain targeted treatments won't work.

Will I get the new medicine or a placebo?

This study tests a new medicine and sometimes combines it with existing treatments. It does not mention using a placebo (a dummy treatment without medicine).

Can I still receive my normal cancer care if I join?

Deciding to join or leave a study will not affect the standard care your doctor provides for your cancer.
