Summary:

      Phase I trial, dose escalating, prospective, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study.
      The purpose is to determine the safety, tolerability, dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and
      recommended dose (RD) of PM00104, administered intravenously over 1 hour daily for 5 days
      every 3 weeks (this is considered as 1 cycle) to subjects with advanced malignant solid
      tumors or lymphoma.
