A Phase I/II Study of Ganetespib in Combination With Doxorubicin
Stopped early · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer
In brief
This is a Phase I/safety dose expansion study of the combination of the drug ganetespib and doxorubicin in patients with advanced solid tumors. The purpose of the Phase I part of the study is to determine the recommended phase II dose of ganetespib when given in combination with doxorubicin. The recommended Phase II dose determined at the end of the dose escalation phase will be used to conduct a safety dose expansion phase in relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer to determine if there is a signal of efficacy in this population.
