Study of the Glutaminase Inhibitor CB-839 in Solid Tumors

Published: August 20, 2014

 

Primary Outcome Measure:

  • Safety and tolerability of CB-839: Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Every 21 days from study start until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, assessed for an expected average of 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

  • Pharmacokinetics: Area under the Curve (AUC) of CB-839 concentration in blood [ Time Frame: Study Days 1, 15, and 22 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Pharmacodynamics: % inhibition of glutaminase in blood [ Time Frame: Study Days 1 and 15 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Clinical activity: Change in tumor volume from baseline [ Time Frame: Every 9 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, assessed for an expected average of 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
