Brief Title: A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of IPI-493
Official Title: A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of IPI-493 Orally Administered to Patients With Advanced Malignancies
Study ID: NCT00724425
Brief Summary: IPI-493 is a potent inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and is orally bioavailable via a novel formulation.
Detailed Description: Hsp90 controls the proper folding, function, and stability of various "client" proteins within cells. Many of the clients of Hsp90 (such as Akt, Bcr-Abl, EGFR, Flt-3, c-Kit and PDGFR α) are oncoproteins or important cell-signaling proteins, and therefore are critical for tumor cell growth and survival. Inhibition of Hsp90 results in degradation of these proteins, which abrogates growth and survival signaling and leads to tumor cell death.
