Detailed Description

eFT508 is an oral, potent and highly selective inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase interacting kinase (MNK) 1 and 2. Dysregulated translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) plays a role in the pathogenesis of multiple solid tumors and hematological malignancies. MNK1 and MNK2 integrate signals from several oncogenic and immune signaling pathways (including RAS, p38 and Toll-like receptors) by phosphorylating eukaryotic initiation of factor 4E (eIF4E) and key effector proteins. Phosphorylation of these regulatory proteins by MNK1 and MNK2 selectively regulates the stability and translation of a subset of cellular mRNA that control tumor growth, the tumor microenvironment and immune signaling. Nonclinical studies indicate that eFT508 shows activity against various types of solid tumors. These nonclinical studies support initiation of clinical development of eFT508 in patients with cancer.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
