Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
There is one active Phase 2 clinical trial registered with ClinicalTrials.gov. NCT01870596 is addressing the use of SCH 900776 (= MK-8776) in combination with the antimetabolite antineoplastic agent cytarabine, in patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
MK-8776 targets the replication checpoint by inhibiting CHK1 [1]. CHK1 inhibition interacts synergistically with DNA antimetabolite agents in vitro and in vivo to selectively induce double-strand DNA breaks and cell death in tumour cells [1].
