Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of MG98 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: MG 98
Phase 1

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:
  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of MG98 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

  • Assess the safety, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics of this treatment regimen in this patient population.

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation, multicenter study.

Patients receive MG98 IV over 2 hours twice weekly for 3 weeks. Courses are repeated every 4 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The dose of MG98 is escalated in cohorts of 1-6 patients until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at week 4, then at least every 3 months until relapse of disease.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20 patients will be accrued for this study within 10-12 months.
