Advanced Solid Tumours

Keywords
PG545, Phase I, Progen, antimetastatic, antiangiogenic, advanced cancer patients, solid tumors, solid tumours
Brief summary
This first-in-human study aims to establish the maximum tolerated dose of PG545 and to evaluate its safety in subjects with advanced solid tumours. In addition the study will explore whether PG545 exposure results in changes to chemicals produced by the body that are associated with cancer growth and spread.
Interventions
PG545 Lyophilized Powder for Subcutaneous Injection. Patients will be dosed once weekly until they exhibit disease progression, are discontinued for reasons of tolerability, or the study reaches its defined end-point. This study is a dose escalation study with doses of 25 mg to 500 mg planned.

Outcome results
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Based on DLT
The primary objective of this study is the determination of the MTD. Due to the premature termination of the study the MTD could not be determined. The outcome measure presented is the number of DLTs per cohort.
Time frame: Following first 1 month cycle
Population: Patients had to complete cycle 1 per protocol.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| 25 mg Dose | Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Based on DLT | 0 DLTs |
| 50 mg Dose | Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Based on DLT | 1 DLTs |
