Sapanisertib in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Bladder Cancer With TSC1 and/or TSC2 Mutations (NCT03047213)

An Open Label, Multicenter, Single Arm Phase II Study to Evaluate the Activity and Tolerability of the Novel mTOR Inhibitor, MLN0128 (TAK-228), in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Urothelial Tract Whose Tumors Harbor a TSC1 and/or a TSC2 Mutation

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This pilot phase II trial studies how well sapanisertib works in treating patients with bladder cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic) with tuberous sclerosis (TSC)1 and/or TSC2 mutations (changes in deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\]). Sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
