Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials are evaluating oral MBQ-167 monotherapy for the treatment of advanced and stage IV breast cancer. Currently recruiting, an open-label, first-in-human Phase 1 trial is investigating the drug's safety and preliminary efficacy in patients with advanced disease, sponsored by industry partner MBQ Pharma and the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

MBQ-167 functions as a potent dual inhibitor that binds directly to the GTPases Rac and Cdc42, thereby blocking downstream intracellular effector signaling and preventing actin cytoskeleton remodeling. By suppressing these GTPase-driven metastatic cascades, MBQ-167 inhibits cancer cell motility and invasion, which underlies its therapeutic development for advanced and stage IV breast cancer in clinical trials.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
