Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Selumetinib (AZD6244) is an oral selective inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) 1/2 currently in development for adult malignancies, pediatric low-grade gliomas and NF1 plexiform neurofibromas. MEK is a critical kinase in the mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase signal transduction pathway for many growth factor receptors that provide growth signals to cancer cells.
Sirolimus is a macrocyclic lactone produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus and inhibitor of mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) serine threonine kinase, which plays a critical role in regulating cellular energy sensing, growth and metabolism.
