Recruiting PHASE2 Solid Tumor Malignancies

Tests treatment safety and results for Solid Tumor Malignancies

Official title Efficacy and Safety of the Valemetostat in Patients With Selected Solid Tumors.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07303387

What this study is testing

What is Valemetostat Tosylate?

Valemetostat Tosylate is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for solid tumor malignancies.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Rational, objective and design: Some cancer-protecting genes are inactivated when the EZH2 enzyme is too active or the SWI/SNF complex is less active. The EZH1/2 enzymes and the SWI/SNFs complex play opposing roles in gene expression: we hypothesize that valemetostat, an inhibitor of the EZH1/2 enzymes, will stop/slow down the growth of cancer cells by reactivating these genes.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Time commitment: about 3 weeks
