Anyone familiar with the clinical trial RMC-6236? Or how to enroll?
Question,,,is anyone familiar with the clinical trial for RMC-6236? Or is currently enrolled in it? Or is familiar with how the process works?
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.
I was just denied entry last week into the combined 6236+9805 trial. The focus of this trial was on 9805 (KRAS G12D specific), and apparently the manufacturer is now focused on getting it approved as a second-line therapy. My rejection was because it would have been a third-line therapy for me.
What I've heard from two oncologists is that these drugs do have a good pedigree and track record so far.
My very limited understanding is that 6236 is sort of "broad-spectrum" targeting KRAS G12x ("x" meaning multiple subtypes) whereas 9805 specifically targets KRAS G12D. As a result of its broad targeting, 6236 may cause more side effects than the more narrowly focused 9805.
Good luck to everyone navigating the clinical trial obstacle course!
@stageivsurvivor : Is RASsolute 302 the nomenclature for RM6236 or RM9805 phase 3 trial? Or is it a different drug trial from a different company?
Thank you!
Thank you @stageivsurvivor for keeping us posted on process. I thought at first you were talking about about RM9805, but towards the end of your post I thought it was RM6236. Initially, I thought RM9805 because my oncologist told me that the phase 3 study of 6236 wouldn’t be complete until 3 years from now and of course approval from FDA would then occur if the results turned out favorably . Please specify which of the two you are referring to?
RMC-6236 is the furthest along in development of the KRAS inhibitors by Revolution Medicine. ThenGDA has a provision where trials can be shortened when the clinical evidence is overwhelmingly supports the efficacy of a drug. There is also a provision in trials with a control and test arm and the participants in the test arm are receiving overwhelming benefit, those in the control arm will get moved over to receiving the drug as it would be unethical to deprive them of its benefit.
Could you try and get into a trial of just the 6236? City of Hope in Irvine (CA) is hoping to get this soon. If you could travel for initial setup you could continue your care back in Florida. Dr.Kasi at Hope will be in charge of that trial. Or there’s the Naliri chemo available which I’ll be starting next week unless radiologist were to set up my SBRT first.
That’s good to know! My dr never mentioned any of the special circumstances you stated. However, that’s an option I’ll use if I can last through another SBRT and then histotripsy after that.
@mnewland99 , Thanks for the info. Do you have the NCT trial # for the one at COH?
The only ones I'm aware of w/ RMC-6236 are either Phase 3 (randomized; not going there) or in combination w/ other SoC chemo drugs that I haven't already had.
Even though 6236 is an oral med I could take at home, I don't think I could get into a trial at COH without frequent travel back to CA since they want to measure absorption rates and blood concentrations -- I doubt I could find a local lab/provider willing, capable, or approved to do the tests that study requires.
The only SoC drug I haven't tried is Onivyde (the new nano-liposomal irinotecan). I asked my onc today if I should switch to that as a bridge until I qualify for a trial. I was advised not to, because the likely failure/progression on another line of therapy would jeopardize my chances of getting into a trial with more promise.
I'll be getting tested for expression of CLDN18.2 soon, and checking into other studies. There are some KRAS G12D trials with drugs other than RevMed's.
@markymarkfl
Have you tried Moffett? I understand Dr Kim is quite knowledgeable of trials and may be running some. He has become a second opinion “go to” for some in atlanta.
24607 - it’s a phase 3. The researcher has choice of chemo drugs (from a list):
Drug: Gemcitabine
Drug: nab-paclitaxel
Drug: Irinotecan
Drug: Liposomal irinotecan
Drug: 5-fluorouracil
Drug: leucovorin
Drug: Oxaliplatin
From clinical notes of my visit, I read that liposomal irinotecan and maybe they could mix in the 5-FU was going to be the alternative, if I did t get the target drug. This is Naliri. This wasn’t conveyed to me at the time. However, I still would rather go with SBRT for my new liver lesion or histotripsy or vice versa (after what I find out next week from dr about histotripsy), and then after those are completed and should I have further metastasis, then I would go on the RMC-6236. That’s just my plan. My dr doesn’t mention a word about the vaccine he touted during my original consultation with him so I don’t know what’s up with that. You might try to reach Dr. Kasi to see what he thinks since he said (when I mentioned your case) that it might be difficult, but it wasn’t a firm “no”. I’m suppose to start Naliri on Tuesday, so I’ll let you know how it goes.
That’s the protocol number I gave you. I found it by searching (safari) for city of Hope clinical trials, then just putting in “pancreas” for disease on their search box once you’ve accessed their clinical trials page. Let me know if you haven’t found it.
