Study Summary
This trial is studying a drug called metarrestin as a possible treatment for metastatic cancer.
Who is the study for?
Adults and children (12-17) with metastatic solid tumors like pancreatic, breast, or colorectal cancer that standard treatments haven't cured. Participants must be over 35 kg in weight, have a certain level of physical ability, and their major organs need to function well. Women who can become pregnant and men must use birth control during the trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Metarrestin's safety and effectiveness at shrinking tumors in patients with metastatic cancers. Patients will take Metarrestin orally for as long as they can tolerate it while undergoing regular health checks including blood tests, heart exams, brain activity assessments, imaging scans like CT or MRI, and possibly tumor biopsies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects of Metarrestin are not listed but may include typical reactions to cancer drugs such as nausea, fatigue, risk of infection due to immune system impact; organ-specific issues depending on how the drug interacts with different body systems; cognitive changes from brain activity alterations.

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
To determine the Objective Response Rate (ORR) according to Evaluation Criteria (RECIST 1.1) in patients treated with metarrestin at the MTD
To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of metarrestin in subjects with metastatic solid tumors
Secondary outcome measures
To assess progression-free survival (PFS) according to RECIST 1.1
To assess safety and tolerability of metarrestin (Cohort IB1)
To assess safety and tolerability of metarrestin in subjects with metastatic solid tumors

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
How many people have taken part in this clinical research thus far?
"Affirmative. Per clinicaltrials.gov, this trial is presently recruiting patients for its study which was first posted on October 27th 2020 and subsequently revised on October 21st 2022. This medical research project necessitates the recruitment of 64 individuals from 2 locations."
Answered by AI
What adverse effects might arise from taking Metarrestin?
"Due to the primitive stage of research, we have assigned Metarrestin a safety rating of 1 on our scale. This Phase 1 trial indicates only limited data supporting its efficacy and safety."
Answered by AI
Are there any vacancies left to take part in this experiment?
"According to clinicaltrials.gov, this active trial was initiated on October 27th 2020 and its status was recently updated on October 21st 2022."
Answered by AI
What objectives is this clinical trial striving to accomplish?
"This clinical trial is designed to gauge the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of metarrestin in subjects with metastatic solid tumors, which will be measured over a bi-monthly period. Secondary objectives include assessing safety and tolerability as well as calculating Objective Response Rate (ORR), Duration of Overall Response (DOR) rate via Kaplan-Meier curves for RECIST 1.1 criteria."
