Frequently asked questions about Tizanidine

What is Tizanidine used for in malignant melanoma and neoplasms?

Tizanidine is a small molecule being studied in oncology for malignant melanoma and neoplasms. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, with one completed trial involving 18 patients with BRAFV600 mutation-positive metastatic malignancies. The drug is investigational and not yet approved for these indications.

What does Tizanidine target?

Tizanidine is a small molecule, but its specific molecular target is not disclosed in the available information. It is being studied in oncology for malignant melanoma and neoplasms, particularly in combination with vemurafenib in patients with BRAFV600 mutation-positive metastatic malignancies.

Who makes Tizanidine?

Tizanidine is being developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. The company is conducting clinical research on this small molecule for oncology indications, including malignant melanoma and neoplasms.

What phase is Tizanidine in?

Tizanidine is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 1 trial, NCT01844674, which enrolled 18 patients. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities for any indication.

What clinical trials is Tizanidine in?

Tizanidine has one completed clinical trial, NCT01844674, titled 'A Study on the Effect of Vemurafenib on the Pharmacokinetics of a Single Dose of Tizanidine in Patients With BRAFV600 Mutation-Positive Metastatic Malignancies.' This Phase 1 study enrolled 18 patients across the United States, Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, and South Korea.
