A Phase Ia/b study of MEK1/2 inhibitor PD-0325901 or MEK-162 with cMET inhibitor PF-02341066 in RASMT and RASWT (with abberant c-MET) in Colorectal Cancer Patients (MErCuRIC)
A DiCE Research Project
About MErCuRIC
MErCuRIC was a multicentre, investigator-driven phase Ib/II clinical trial to assess a novel therapeutic strategy (combined treatment of a MEK inhibitor MEK-162 with a MET inhibitor PF-02341066) to combat metastasis, improve survival and change current clinical practice for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with RAS mutant (MT) and RAS wild-type (WT) (with aberrant c-MET) tumours. The project investigated using a novel treatment strategy targeting the biology of the disease and performed laboratory studies to identify CRC patient subgroups who might benefit most from the novel treatment strategy.
