Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to find a safe and tolerable dose of Lipotecan® when administered to patients with advanced solid tumors.

Description:

Lipotecan® is a drug product of TLC388 HCl, which is a potent camptothecin analog with cytotoxic activities against a variety of human tumor cell lines in vitro and anti-tumor activities in several xenograft models with human tumor cell lines. Structurally, TLC388 HCl is related to other camptothecins, but it has been chemically modified to improve stability and potency, and to minimize toxicities.

• Evaluable disease, either measurable on imaging or with informative tumor marker(s), by RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) criteria.

Exclusion Criteria:

Male and female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use appropriate birth control (barrier methods with spermicides, oral or parenteral contraceptives and/or intrauterine devices) during the entire duration of the study, or the patient must be surgically sterile (with documentation in the patient's medical records).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Lipotecan	MTD is the highest dose of drug that did not cause an unacceptable side effect (= Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)). A 3+3 study design was used to determine MTD. The MTD was the highest dose level at which 0 of 3 or 1 of 6 patients experience a DLT, with the next higher dose having at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experiencing a DLT.	First treatment to toxicity up to 42 days

Stable Disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.	From start of treatment assessed every 2 cycles up to 2.5 years
