Malignant Solid Tumour
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose of BN80927 in patients with advanced malignant solid tumors.
Interventions
Administered over 30 minutes in the vein with a fixed infusion rate once every 3 weeks. Each patient could participate in a maximum of 10 continuous cycles, equivalent to 30 weeks treatment.
