Objectives

  1. Determine the safety and tolerability of GW786034 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
  2. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this drug in these patients.
  3. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
  4. Determine the clinical response in patients treated with this drug.
  5. 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.

  • No other unstable, pre-existing major medical condition
  • No orthopedic pins or rods or other embedded metal that would preclude undergoing an MRI
  • No psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition that would preclude study compliance

Expected Enrollment

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

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Safety and toxicity assessed weekly during treatment

Secondary Outcome(s)

Disease response every 9 weeks

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.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
