Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of E7974 administered on Days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle in subjects with solid malignancies that have progressed following effective therapy or for which no effective therapy exists.
Interventions
DRUGE7974
Maximum Tolerated Dose defined as 0.35 mg/m\^2 administered on Days 1 and 15 only of a 28-day cycle; the E7974 compound is administered as a bolus infusion; no placebo is given.

Exclusion criteria
will be eligible for entry into the study: 1. Patients must have a pathologically diagnosed, histologically or cytologically confirmed solid malignancy that has progressed following effective therapy or for which no effective therapy exists (including surgery or radiation therapy). 2. Patients must be \>= 18 years of age. 3. Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status of 0, 1 or 2. 4. Patients must have a life expectancy of \>= 3 months. 5. Patients must have adequate renal function as evidenced by serum creatinine \<= 1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance \>= 40 mL/minute (min) 6. Patients must have adequate bone marrow function as evidenced by absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,200/µL, hemoglobin of \>= 9 g/dL (may be transfused), and platelet count (not transfused) \>= 100,000/µL. 7. Patients must have adequate liver function as evidenced by bilirubin \<= 1.5 mg/dL and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \<= 3 times the upper limits of normal (ULN), unless related to liver involvement by tumor, in which case \<= 5.0 times ULN. 8. Patients must be willing and able to sign written informed consent and be able to comply with the study protocol for the duration of the study. 9. Patients must be willing and able to undergo blood draw and urine sampling for PK in Cycle 1. 10. Patients may have either measurable or non-measurable disease. For Prostate Cancer patients only being enrolled at the MTD expansion phase: 1. Males with histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate that has progressed (i.e. a minimum of three successive baseline values to document two consecutive rises in Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) (with the last value 5 ng/mL) taken at least one week apart prior to study entry) despite castration or maintenance of castrate-level testosterone (defined as serum testosterone 50 ng/dL or 1.7 nmol/L), during non-hormonal chemotherapy. 2. Patients must have failed at least one previous chemotherapeutic regimen with tubulin binding agents such as docetaxel.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine the maximum tolerated dose of E7974 in patients with solid malignancies. | Duration of each cycle will be 28 days; patients will attend a follow-up visit 30 days after last study treatment. Follow-up for safety and efficacy will occur 6 months after the last patient is accrued to the study. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess E7974 for safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics; evaluate the efficacy of E7974 in patients with metastatic, refractory prostate cancer. | Duration of each cycle will be 28 days; patients will attend a follow-up visit 30 days after last study treatment. Follow-up for safety and efficacy will occur 6 months after the last patient is accrued to the study. |
