Study of the Safety and Tolerability of Oral Capsule Form of PCI-24781 in Advanced Cancer Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To determine the highest dose of study drug that can be taken without causing serious side effects in patients with advanced cancer. The study will look at safety of the study drug and whether the treatment schedule is tolerated by patients.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Arm 1 All study subjects will receive PCI-24781 (study drug). |
Drug: PCI-24781
Up to 7 cohorts will receive PCI-24781 orally at doses starting at 30 mg/m2 three times a day approximately 4 hours apart ("TID"), up to 90 mg/m2, administered 5 days/week during the first 21 days of each 28 day cycle until MTD is reached. If a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) occurs, then the next cohort will receive PCI-24781 twice a day approximately 4 hours apart ("BID"). If a DLT occurs on the "BID" schedule, the subsequent cohort will receive PCI-24781 BID for 7 days every other week (2 times in a 28 day cycle). If a DLT occurs on this dosing schedule, then the next cohort will receive PCI-24781 BID for 5 days/week every other week (2 times in a 28 day cycle) until the maximum tolerated dose is reached.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Dose limiting toxicity assessment at the end of the first 28 day cycle. [at the end of the first 28 day cycle]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Measure: Adverse event assessed through 30 days after last dose of study drug Measure: Tumor response Measure: Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic assessments [AE through 30 days after last dose of study drug, Tumor response at the end of every 2nd 28 day cycle, PK/PD assessments on Day 1, 2, 3 (or 4 or 5), and Day 8 of cycle 1]
