A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate Paclitaxel Conjugated CXC Receptor 4 Antagonist (MB1707) in Patients With Advanced Cancer

"MB1707 is a CXCR4 antagonist peptide-conjugated paclitaxel.~MB1707, paclitaxel (PTX) conjugated CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) peptide antagonist, a peptide-drug conjugate (PDC), for the treatment of cancer. MB1707 is a potent CXCR4 antagonist which inhibits tumor growth and metastasis by blocking the stromal cell derived factor 1 (SDF-1, a.k.a. CXCL12)/CXCR4 signaling pathway. MB1707 contains a conjugated drug, paclitaxel. By specific binding to CXCR4 overexpressed by the tumor cells, MB1707 has a built-in targeted delivery mechanism."
