    Research Summary

    Cancer is a condition in which there is a loss of cell growth control, leading to tumour formation. Microtubules form structures within the cell that are required for cells to properly divide. The study drug, BAL101553, disrupts these stuctures and prevents dividing cells from separating. This can cause these cells to die.
    This is the first study of the oral formulation of BAL101553 (called a Phase I study) to be conducted in humans. A similar study has been conducted in cancer patients using an intravenous formulation of BAL101553. BAL101553 is being developed by the company Basilea Pharmaceutica International; it is experimental and therefore only available for use in clinical trials.
    During each day of a 28-day treatment cycle, BAL101553 will be given in capsule form to adults with advanced or recurrent solid tumors who have failed standard therapy, or for whom no effective standard therapy is available.
    The primary goal of the study is to find the highest dose of BAL101553 that can safely be given to humans and to assess what side-effects occur. The study will start by treating patients with a low dose. Once it has been shown that this low dose is well tolerated, new patients will be treated at higher dose levels (this part of the study is called “dose escalation” and will include up to 42 patients). Once the highest, well-tolerated dose is identified, 20 new patients will treated at that dose (this part is called “dose expansion”) to further assess how well BAL101553 is tolerated and its positive and negative effects.
    The study will also measure the amount of the drug and its break-down products in the body at different times, which may help us to understand how the drug is working and how effective it might be against cancer.
