  Purpose

This is an open-label, Phase 1, dose-escalation study to determine the recommended doses of STA-9090 (ganetespib) and docetaxel for the treatment of subjects with solid tumor malignancies. The safety and tolerability of the treatment will also be evaluated.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety of STA-9090 (ganetespib) and docetaxel combination [ Time Frame: June 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The number of adverse events will be used as a measure of safety


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Pharmacokinetics [ Time Frame: June 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Pharmacokinetics of STA-9090 (ganetespib) and Docetaxel. This includes concentrations of these drugs in patients' blood at various protocol-specified times relative to the time of dose administration. These will be summarized by parameters including maximum concentration, total exposure and how fast the patient's body gets rid of the drug (known as Cmax, AUC, t1/2, respectively).


Estimated Enrollment: 27
Study Start Date: July 2010
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date: July 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: STA-9090 and Docetaxel
STA-9090 (ganetespib) and Docetaxel
Drug: STA-9090 (ganetespib) with Docetaxel
One treatment cycle will consist of weekly treatments for 2 weeks followed by a 1-week rest period. Treatment cycles will be repeated every 3 weeks. STA-9090 will be administered on Days 1 and 8 of each cycle and docetaxel will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle. Each agent will be administered as a separate 1-hour intravenous infusion.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must have histologically confirmed metastatic or unresectable malignancy with evidence of progression
  • If subject has been treated with docetaxel, must have evidence of persistent or progressive disease
  • Measurable disease per RECIST
  • CNS metastases are permitted if treated and radiographically and clinically stable for 4 weeks prior to first dose
  • ECOG status less than or equal to 2
  • Life expectancy greater than 3 months
  • Adequate hematological, hepatic and renal function as defined by protocol
  • Willingness and ability to comply with study requirements
  • Female subjects of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test at study entry
  • Female subjects of child bearing age and males must agree to use adequate contraception as defined in the protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior chemotherapy or investigational agents within 3 weeks or 5 times the agent's half life, whichever is shorter prior to first dose
  • Radiotherapy within 2 weeks of first dose
  • Surgery, radiotherapy or ablative procedure to the only area of measurable disease
