Melanoma Clinical Trial

A Dose Escalation and Cohort-Expansion Study of Oral eFT508 in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

Summary

This clinical trial is a Phase 1-2, open-label, sequential-group, dose-escalation and cohort-expansion study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of daily oral administration of eFT508.

Full Description

eFT508 is an oral, potent and highly selective inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase interacting kinase (MNK) 1 and 2. Dysregulated translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) plays a role in the pathogenesis of multiple solid tumors and hematological malignancies. MNK1 and MNK2 integrate signals from several oncogenic and immune signaling pathways (including RAS, p38 and Toll-like receptors) by phosphorylating eukaryotic initiation of factor 4E (eIF4E) and key effector proteins. Phosphorylation of these regulatory proteins by MNK1 and MNK2 selectively regulates the stability and translation of a subset of cellular mRNA that control tumor growth, the tumor microenvironment and immune signaling. Nonclinical studies indicate that eFT508 shows activity against various types of solid tumors. These nonclinical studies support initiation of clinical development of eFT508 in patients with cancer.
