Full Title
Phase II Study of BKM120 in Metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Urothelium
Purpose
The PI3 kinase (PI3K) pathway is a molecular signaling pathway that is activated in some cancers and promotes cancer growth. BKM120 is an investigational drug designed to kill cancer cells by inhibiting the PI3K pathway.
In this study, researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of BMK120 in patients with metastatic transitional cell cancer of the urothelium (bladder, ureters, urethra, or renal pelvis) that has returned or continued to grow despite prior treatment. BMK120 is taken orally (by mouth).
