A Study of the Safety and Effects of ADH-1 Given Daily to Subjects With Solid Tumors

August 3, 2007 updated by: Adherex Technologies, Inc.

Dose Finding, Safety, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of the Vascular Targeting Agent Exherin™ (ADH-1) Administered Once Daily for 5 Consecutive Days by Intravenous Infusion in Subjects With N-Cadherin Expressing, Incurable, Solid Tumors (Adherex Protocol Number AHX 01 003)

N-cadherin, a protein involved in blood vessel cell binding, is increased as cancer progresses, and is on the surface of many tumor cells. ADH-1 blocks N-cadherin. This study will test the safety and effects of ADH-1 in subjects with incurable, solid tumors with a protein biomarker called N-cadherin. This study will identify the amount of ADH-1 that subjects can tolerate.
