A Phase II Study of AZD4877 (a Novel Anti-mitotic Agent) in Advanced Bladder Cancer

December 13, 2010 updated by: AstraZeneca

A Phase II, Single Arm, Single Agent, Multicentre, Adaptive 2-Stage Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of AZD4877 Administered Weekly in Patients With Recurrent Advanced Urothelial Cancer

The purpose of this Phase II study is to determine if AZD4877, an experimental drug that is a novel anti-mitotic agent (Eg5 or Kinesin Spindle Protein inhibitor that interferes with tumor cell division leading to tumor growth), can reduce tumor sizes in patients with bladder cancer
