Currently, a Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT01791595) is recruiting patients with prostate cancer, gastric cancer or diffuse large B cell lymphoma, to evaluate the maximum dose, the potential side effects of the drug and the pharmacokinetic profile of AZD3965, a specific inhibitor for MCT1/MCT2, demonstrating the pharmacological interest in targeting MCTs in cancer therapy [41]. Here, SLC16A7 is linked to prostate cancer.
