Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of NB1011 in treating patients who have metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the maximum tolerated dose of NB1011 in patients with fluoropyrimidine-resistant metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer.
* Determine the safety and toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
* Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
* Determine the efficacy of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.

* Phase I: Patients receive NB1011 IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of NB1011 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

* Phase II: Additional patients receive NB1011 at the MTD as in phase I. Patients are followed at day 30 and then for 5 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 25 patients will be accrued for the phase I portion of this study. A total of 15-25 patients will be accrued for the phase II portion of this study.
