Official Title: A Phase II Open Label Study of the PI3 Kinase (PI-3) Inhibitor, SF1126, in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive SCCHN and Mutations in PIK3CA Gene and/or PI-3 Kinase Pathway Genes
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test the good and bad effects of an experimental drug called SF1126. This drug is being tested in patients whose cancer has not been controlled by available standard therapies and who have certain genes in their tumor.
SF1126 is a drug that inhibits a cell protein called phosphatidyl inositol 3 kinase (PI3K). PI3K is part of signaling pathway that tells cancer cells to grow, survive, invade and metastasize. PI3K also has an important role in the development of blood vessels that are required to support tumor growth. SF1126 is being developed by SignalRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It is considered an experimental drug because it is not approved by the FDA for any disease treatment.
