A Phase I, Open Label, Multiple Dose, Dose Escalation Study OF GW786034 In Patients With Solid Tumors


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the safety and tolerability of GW786034 in patients with advanced solid
tumors.

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

- Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

- Determine the clinical response in patients treated with this drug.

- Evaluate the effect of this drug on biomarkers of angiogenesis activity in order to
estimate activity and to determine the minimum biologically active dose in these
patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized, dose-escalation, multicenter study.

Patients receive oral GW786034 twice daily. Treatment continues in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 2-6 patients receive escalating doses of GW786034 until the maximum tolerated
dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6
patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 21 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 30-50 patients will be accrued for this study.
