Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults over 18 with advanced solid tumors that are refractory to standard treatments or newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with tumors that are not measurable or evaluable, or those with a performance status worse than ECOG 2, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of NBM-BMX, a new oral medication targeting histone deacetylases 8 (HDAC8), in patients with advanced solid tumors and newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The study is divided into two arms: one for patients receiving NBM-BMX as a standalone treatment for solid tumors, and another for those receiving it in combination with standard treatments like radiotherapy and temozolomide for glioblastoma. The trial will assess different dosage levels to determine the optimal dose for further evaluation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced solid tumors and glioblastoma, potentially improving outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in its specific targeting of HDAC8, similar studies targeting histone deacetylases have shown promise in other cancer treatments.

Willingness and ability to comply with the study scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests and other procedures. Exclusion Criteria: Arm A (advanced solid tumors) 1. Systemic anti-cancer treatment (investigational or approved) within 28 days or 5 half-lives of that drug (whichever is shorter) of the first dose of NBM-BMX. 2. Curative radiation therapy within 28 days or palliative RT within 7 days of the first dose of NBM-BMX. 3. Currently taking strong inhibitors (e.g., gemfibrozil) or inducers of CYP2C8. 4.
