This Phase 1 study of oral CX-4945 is designed to test the safety, tolerability, and
highest safe dose level of this CK2 inhibitor in patients with relapsed or refractory
multiple myeloma.
Additional locations may be listed on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT01199718.
See trial information on ClinicalTrials.gov for a list of participating sites.
Elevated CK2 activity has been associated with malignant transformation and aggressive
tumor growth. Over expression of CK2 has been documented in multiple types of cancers,
including multiple myeloma, and inhibition of CK2 represents a potential therapeutic
strategy to target a specific molecular defect perpetuating many cancers. CX-4945 has
demonstrated potent inhibition of CK2 enzymatic activity. This study will evaluate the
safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effects of CX-4945 when administered to
patients with multiple myeloma.
