Brief Summary

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

RATIONALE: BI 2536 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of BI 2536 in treating patients with refractory or relapsed advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Detailed Description

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

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the maximum tolerated dose of BI 2536 in patients with refractory or relapsed advanced aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
* Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients.

Secondary

* Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of this drug in these patients.
* Determine, preliminarily, the antitumor activity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, open-label, uncontrolled, multicenter study.

Patients receive BI 2536 IV over 1 hour on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of BI 2536 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first treatment course. Up to 24 patients are treated at the MTD.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically until disease progression or initiation of another cancer treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.
