Frequently asked questions about ARRY-438162, MEK inhibitor

What is ARRY-438162 used for?

ARRY-438162 is an investigational oral small molecule studied in advanced solid tumors, including advanced or metastatic biliary cancer and metastatic colorectal cancer, and in rheumatoid arthritis. It has been evaluated in Phase 1 oncology research and in a Phase 2 rheumatoid arthritis study, and it is not an approved therapy.

Who makes ARRY-438162?

ARRY-438162 is developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PFE. The compound, also written as ARRY-438162 (MEK162), was studied by Pfizer in both oncology and rheumatoid arthritis settings.

What phase is ARRY-438162 in?

ARRY-438162 has completed Phase 1 testing in advanced solid tumors and a Phase 2 study in rheumatoid arthritis. It remains an investigational agent rather than an approved medicine, and no trials of the drug are currently listed as active.

What clinical trials has ARRY-438162 been studied in?

ARRY-438162 was studied in NCT00959127, a completed Phase 1 trial in patients with advanced cancer, including advanced or metastatic biliary cancer and metastatic colorectal cancer, that enrolled 93 participants in the United States. It was also studied in NCT00650767, a completed Phase 2 trial in rheumatoid arthritis that enrolled 201 participants across the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Hungary, Peru, Poland and Romania.

Is ARRY-438162 the same as MEK162?

Yes. ARRY-438162 is also known as MEK162, and the two names refer to the same oral small molecule. It is described as a MEK inhibitor and has been studied under both designations in advanced solid tumors and rheumatoid arthritis.

How many patients have been enrolled in ARRY-438162 trials?

Across the two completed studies of ARRY-438162, 294 participants have been enrolled. The Phase 1 advanced cancer trial NCT00959127 enrolled 93 patients, and the Phase 2 rheumatoid arthritis trial NCT00650767 enrolled 201 patients. Both studies enrolled adults aged 18 years and older.
