Scientists test malaria drug combo against tough cancers
NCT ID NCT01480154
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing whether combining an experimental cancer drug called MK-2206 with the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine is safe for people with advanced solid tumors, melanoma, kidney, or prostate cancer. The main goal is to find the highest dose patients can tolerate without severe side effects. Researchers also want to see if this combination can better stop cancer cell growth by blocking a specific survival pathway.
