Study of Akt Inhibitor MK2206 in Patients With Relapsed Lymphoma

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-08-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase II clinical trial studies how well Akt inhibitor MK2206 works in treating patients with relapsed lymphoma. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
