evaluation of ap-002 in patients with solid tumors

Conditions: Solid Tumor

Summary: the purpose of this trial is to define an effective and safe dose of ap-002 in advanced or recurrent solid tumors for which there are no standard therapies to use in subsequent studies in advanced or recurrent breast, non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) or prostate cancers.

the phase 1 portion of this study will determine the pharmacodynamically active dose (pad) of ap-002 in humans, defined as the dose at which the plasma concentration of ap-002, as measured by ga, is 300-500 ng/ml and which is at or below the maximum tolerated dose (mtd), to use in the clinical setting of advanced or recurrent solid tumors. this will be followed by a phase 2 expanded cohort treated at the pad, to estimate the efficacy of ap-002 in patients with advanced or recurrent breast cancer, nsclc and prostate cancer. patients will receive ap-002 orally, once daily for 14 days of a 21 day cycle.
