A Phase I Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Anti-Tumor Activity of TH-302 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Tumors; Hypoxia

• Registration Number: NCT00495144
• Lead Sponsor: Threshold Pharmaceuticals

Brief Summary

This is a phase I, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation study of TH-302 in patients with advanced solid tumors. TH-302 is a hypoxia activated product designed to exploit the hypoxic nature of tumors. The study is designed to establish the safety including the maximum tolerated dose, the pharmacokinetics, and the anti-tumor activity of TH-302.

• All women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test and women and men subjects must agree to use effective means of contraception (surgical sterilization or the use or barrier contraception with either a condom or diaphragm in conjunction with spermicidal gel or an IUD) with their partner from entry into the study through 6 months after the last dose

Exclusion Criteria

• Prior treatment with high dose chemotherapy
• Prior radiotherapy to more than 25% of the bone marrow
• New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV, cardiac disease, myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to Day 1, or unstable arrhythmia

• Symptomatic brain metastases (unless previously treated and well controlled for a period of ≥ 3 months)
• Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with hypoxemia or in the opinion of the investigator any physiological state leading to hypoxemia
• Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, within 4 weeks prior to Day 1, without complete recovery
• Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, requiring systemic therapy
• Treatment with radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapies (erlotinib, lapatinib, etc.) or hormones within 4 weeks prior to study entry (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or Mitomycin C)
• Patients who participated in an investigational drug or device study within 28 days prior to study entry
• Known infection with HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C
• Patients who have exhibited allergic reactions to a similar structural compound, biological agent, or formulation (containing solutol and/or propylene glycol)
• Females who are pregnant or breast-feeding
• Concomitant disease or condition that could interfere with the conduct of the study, or that would, in the opinion of the investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the subject in this study
• Unwillingness or inability to comply with the study protocol for any reason
