Further study details as provided by Aronex Pharmaceuticals:

Estimated Enrollment: 40
Detailed Description:

Primary Objective:

  • To determine response rate (RR; complete and partial response[CR,PR] and duration after therapy with Aroplatin (Liposomal NDDP, L-NDDP) in subjects with locally recurrent, unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to 5-FU/leucovorin or capecitabine, and irinotecan.

Secondary Objective:

  • To determine safety and tolerability of the Aroplatin therapy.

This is a single-arm, open-label phase II study. Subjects refractory to 5-FU/leucovorin or capecitabine, and irinotecan therapies will be enrolled. Dosing will be every four weeks with individual dose escalations and adjustments for toxicity.
