Safety of BKM120 Monotherapy in Advanced Solid Tumor Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a first-in-man, phase I clinical research study with BKM120, a potent and highly specific oral pan-class I phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. The study consists of a dose escalation part followed by a MTD expansion part.
Once the MTD has been defined, the MTD expansion part will be opened for enrollment.
