Clinical Trials

A Phase Ib Study of Combination Therapy with MSC1936369B and SAR245409 in Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Protocol
12-107
Full Title
An Open-Label, Phase Ib Dose Escalation Trial of Oral Combination Therapy with MSC1936369B and SAR245409 in Subjects with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Purpose

The purpose of this study is to find the best doses of the two investigational drugs MSC1936369B and SAR245409 when they are given together in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that persist despite standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists. Both drugs are taken orally (by mouth).

MSC1936369B works by inhibiting a protein called MEK that fuels cancer growth in some patients. SAR245409 blocks PI3K and mTOR, two other proteins that drive the growth of some cancers.
