The drug is being investigated for use in several types of cancer, including but not limited to:
- Breast cancer
- Lung cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
Research and Studies[edit | edit source]
Preclinical studies have shown that PLX-7486 can effectively inhibit tumor growth in animal models. Ongoing clinical trials are focused on assessing its impact on human subjects and determining its potential as a therapeutic option.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
As with any investigational drug, PLX-7486 may have side effects. Commonly reported side effects in early trials include:
