Focal Adhesion Kinase; Advanced Non-Hematologic Malignancies
Brief summary
Phase 1 safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics trial of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor PF-04554878 in patients with advanced non-hematologic malignancies, including patients with malignancies appropriate for serial biopsy. Screening consists of medical history, physical examination ECOG performance status, blood draws, a pregnancy test for female patients of childbearing potential, a FDG-PET and tumor imaging. Treatment consists of PF-04554878 pills continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or patient request. Evaluations for bioactivity are measured by serial FDG-PET and blood tests for biomarkers related to FAK and Pyk2 activities.
Interventions
Oral pills at increasing dose twice daily, 21 day cycle, continuous treatment schedule until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or patient request. Some patients will undergo serial biopsy and/or FDG-PET imaging
