Advanced Solid Tumor
Conditions
Keywords
MEK, Advanced solid tumor
Brief summary
In this study, MEK162 will be administered to Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors whose disease has progressed despite standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy exists. The trial will investigate the safety and tolerability and determine the MTD of MEK162 in Japanese patients.
Interventions
MEK162 in an oral formulation. It is a film-coated capsule-shape tablets (i.e. caplets).
