A Phase I Trial of AEG35156 Administered by 2-Hour Intravenous Infusion in Patients With Advanced Cancers


This is a Phase I study, single-arm, open-label, dose escalation study to establish the
recommended dose and activity of AEG35156 administered as a 2-hour daily infusion over 3
days initially followed by weekly 2-hour intravenous infusions in patients with advanced
cancers. Subjects eligible for study entry must have proven advanced or metastatic cancer
refactory to conventional treatment or for which no conventional therapy exists. The
starting dose will be a fixed dose of 60 mg/day with escalation by steps of 50 to 100% in
successive cohorts. Approximately of 30 patients will be entered in the study to determine
the maximum tolerated dose.

tumours and lymphoma)

- refractory to conventional treatment, or for which no conventional therapy exists
with life expectancy of at least 12 weeks

- ECOG performance status of 0 or 1

- hematological and biochemical indices as specified within one week prior to treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

- known bleeding diathesis or concurrent treatment with anticoagulants

- primary brain tumours or brain metastases

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
