Research Underway for MYC-Amplified Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors

The selective CDK9 inhibitor KB-0742 displayed anti-tumor activity and manageable safety as a single agent in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory, transcriptionally addicted solid tumors, according to data from a phase 1 trial (NCT04718675).

Miguel Villalona-Calero, MD, discusses interim data from a phase 1/2 investigation of KB-0742 in patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphoma and highlights the ongoing evaluation of the agent’s safety.

Brian Van Tine, MD, PhD, discusses key considerations for understanding the biology of MYC, the rationale for the phase 1 study of KB-0742 in MYC-amplified or -overexpressed relapsed or refractory solid tumors, and patient characteristics that may signal their eligibility for participation in this trial.

Jia Luo, MD, discusses the potential use of KB-0742 to target specific MYC-driven tumor types, as well as challenges in the detection of MYC amplification or overexpression in clinical practice.

Brian A. Van Tine, MD, PhD, discusses the ongoing evaluation of the CDK9 inhibitor KB-0742 in a phase 1 trial in patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, detailing the key enrollment criteria.

Investigators are aiming to add another agent to the treatment armamentarium for patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, as well as those with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with the development of KB-0742, a CDK9 inhibitor.

Miguel Villalona-Calero, MD, discusses the unique mechanism of action of KB-0742 and the rationale and design of a phase 1 trial investigating the safety and efficacy of KB-0742 in patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
