Trial Information

A Phase I Trial of VNP40101M, a Novel Alkylating Agent, Administered Weekly for Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the toxic effects of VNP40101M in patients with advanced or metastatic solid
tumor or lymphoma.

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this drug in these patients.

- Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

- Determine the antitumor effects of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive VNP40101M IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every
28 days.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of VNP40101M until the maximum tolerated
dose is determined.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20 patients will be accrued for this study.
