Clinical trial overview
Gsk6097608 is being tested in interventional studies, which means researchers are giving study treatments and then measuring results.[1][2]
Both available trials are Phase 2 studies, so they are mainly looking for early signs of benefit while also checking safety.[1][2]
The studies are authorised and focus on advanced cancers in adults.[1][2]
Previously untreated advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer study
NCT05565378 is a Phase 2 platform study in participants with previously untreated, advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.[1]
This study includes Gsk6097608 with other immunotherapy drugs and is designed to monitor the safety of novel combinations.[1]
The planned enrollment is 340 participants.[1]
The main safety endpoint is the incidence of TEAEs and SAEs, which means how often treatment-related side effects and serious side effects happen.[1]
The study also measures side effects that lead to dose changes, dose delays, or stopping study treatment.[1]
PD-L1 positive recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer study
Trial 2023-503428-24-00 is a Phase 2 platform study in participants with PD-L1 positive recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.[2]
This study is testing Gsk6097608 in first-line treatment, meaning it is being studied as an initial treatment option for this cancer group.[2]
The planned enrollment is 360 participants.[2]
The brief summary says the study aims to evaluate the antitumor activity of novel immunotherapy combinations compared with dostarlimab in participants with PD-L1 positive recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.[2]
What the trials measure
The lung cancer study measures safety as its primary outcome.[1]
Its main endpoint is the number of treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events, plus events that cause dose modification or treatment discontinuation.[1]
The head and neck cancer study measures confirmed objective response rate, or ORR, as its primary outcome.[2]
Confirmed ORR means the percentage of participants who have a confirmed complete response or partial response based on RECIST 1.1, a standard way to measure tumor shrinkage.[2]
Who can join these studies
These trials are for adults with specific advanced cancers, not for all cancer types.[1][2]
The lung cancer study is for people who have previously untreated advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.[1]
The head and neck study is for people with PD-L1 positive recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.[2]
Because the studies are platform trials, they are built to test treatment combinations within a larger research plan.[1][2]
Key terms for patients
- Authorised means the study has been approved to move forward in the listed setting.[1][2]
- Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.[1][2]
- Recurrent means the cancer has come back after treatment.[2]
- First-line treatment means the first treatment given for the cancer.[2]
- Complete response means no signs of cancer are seen on testing.[2]
- Partial response means the cancer has shrunk, but not disappeared completely.[2]
