A Phase 2, Open-Label, Single-Arm Study of KRT-232 in Patients With p53 Wild-Type (p53WT) Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) Who Have Failed Anti-PD-1 or Anti-PD-L1 Immunotherapy


Adult


NCT03787602


For participants diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) and prior treatment with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 was not or is no longer effective. This is the first study of KRT-232 in patients with MCC after prior treatment with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 and it will evaluate how well tolerated KRT-232 is when given to participants with MCC, and whether KRT-232 can improve MCC outcomes. KRT-232 (formerly called AMG 232) is an investigational drug in a tablet form that is taken by mouth. KRT-232 has been shown in the laboratory to inhibit the growth of some tumor cells.
