Brief summary
CLL dosing escalating study; daily dosing schedule; PK/PD safety
Detailed description
Phase 1, open-label, accelerated-titration study designed to evaluate the effects of increasing doses of CNF2024 on safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic markers, and hematological response
Interventions
Dose starting at 12.5 mg/d, p.o. as a once-daily dose for 21 days followed by a 1-week rest period. Dose escalation will proceed according to the predetermined scheme until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached due to dose limiting toxicities (DLT) during the first course of treatment.
