Trial Information

Phase I Trial of R115777 (NSA 702818) in Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of R115777 in patients with advanced malignant
solid tumors.

- Assess the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

- Determine, preliminarily, the efficacy of this drug in these patients.

- Determine the potential predictors of response in patients treated with drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study.

Patients receive oral R115777 twice daily on weeks 1 and 3. Treatment repeats every 28 days
in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of R115777 until the maximum tolerated dose
(MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3
or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 20 patients will be accrued for this study within 12 months.
