NCT ID NCT00463814
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tested the safety of an experimental cancer drug called AZD6244, given as a capsule, in 58 adults with advanced solid tumors that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goal was to check for side effects and how the drug moves through the body. This is a Phase 1 trial, so it focuses on safety and dosing, not on curing the cancer.
