Once or Twice Daily Administration of BIIB021 to Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Advanced Solid Tumors
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00618735
Lead Sponsor
Biogen
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to see if daily and twice daily administration of BIIB021 is tolerated in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors are anticipated to have clinical activity in solid tumors because Hsp90 is required for the folding, activation, and assembly of many proteins involved in cancer cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis. The maximum tolerated dose (MTX) for BIIB021 administered twice weekly in a phase I study in subjects with advanced solid tumors have been defined at 600mg. It is now reasonable from a safety perspective and desirable from a pharmacokinetic perspective to evaluate more frequent dosing intervals in solid tumors with the goal of providing more sustained and completed inhibition of Hsp90.

1BIIB021Subjects in Schedule A will take BIIB021 in the morning at approximately 0800 with at least 6 ounces of water following an overnight fast (Beginning at midnight).
2BIIB021Subjects in Schedule B will take BIIB021 in the morning at approximately 0800 with at least 6 ounces of water following an overnight fast (beginning at midnight). The second dose will be taken, following at least a 2-hour fast, 12 hours (+/- 2 hours) after the first dose, except on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of Cycle 2.
