Official Title: Phase I Study of 2-Methoxyestradiol in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive oral 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME) once daily. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of 2-ME until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Additional patients are treated at the MTD.
Patients are followed for 3 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 42-60 patients will be accrued for this study within 19 months.
