MNK Inhibitor AUM001 in Combination With Either Pembrolizumab or Irinotecan to Treat Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study is a 2-part study of AUM001 alone on in combination with Pembrolizumab/Irinotecan in patients with CRC.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The study is conducted in 2 parts. First a dose escalation Run-in to identify the Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD) and the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of AUM001 to be administered orally as monotherapy and in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab/irinotecan. Part 2 consists of a cohort expansion at the RP2D of AUM001 in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab/Irinotecan in patients with locally advanced or metastatic CRC to evaluate clinical activity and safety of AUM001.
