Study Summary

This trial studies selumetinib sulfate in treating patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients with advanced solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or histiocytic disorders that have MAPK pathway mutations and are not responding to treatment. Participants must be able to swallow capsules, have a body surface area >= 0.5 m^2, and meet specific health criteria including organ function and blood counts. Pregnant women or those on certain medications cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests Selumetinib Sulfate's effectiveness in treating relapsed or refractory cancers with MAPK mutations. It's a phase II trial aiming to see if this drug can halt cancer cell growth by inhibiting necessary enzymes.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Selumetinib may cause side effects such as fatigue, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, visual changes and increased blood pressure. Side effects vary from person to person.
