Frequently asked questions about MK0752

What is MK0752 used for?

MK0752 is an investigational small molecule being studied for advanced breast cancer and other solid tumors, as well as in healthy volunteers for biomarker research. It is a gamma secretase inhibitor that targets the Notch signaling pathway. The drug is not approved and remains in clinical development.

What does MK0752 target?

MK0752 targets the Notch signaling pathway as a gamma secretase inhibitor. By inhibiting gamma secretase, it blocks Notch pathway activation, which is implicated in cancer cell growth and survival. This mechanism is being explored in advanced breast cancer and other solid tumors.

Who makes MK0752?

MK0752 is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker MRK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in oncology indications.

What phase is MK0752 in?

MK0752 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed two Phase 1 trials, one in advanced breast cancer and other solid tumors and another in healthy volunteers. The drug is investigational and has not received FDA approval.

What clinical trials is MK0752 in?

MK0752 has completed two Phase 1 trials. NCT00106145 enrolled 103 patients with advanced breast cancer and other solid tumors. NCT00803894 enrolled 30 healthy male volunteers to determine biomarkers of response. Both trials are completed, and no active trials are listed.

Is MK0752 the same as a Notch inhibitor?

MK0752 is a Notch inhibitor, specifically a gamma secretase inhibitor that blocks Notch signaling. It is being studied for its potential in treating advanced breast cancer and other solid tumors by targeting this pathway.
