Study of the Safety and Tolerability of IV Infused PG545 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

An Open-label, Multi-centre Phase I Study of the Safety and Tolerability of IV Infused PG545 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

This Phase Ia study aims to establish the maximum tolerated dose of once-weekly IV infused PG545 and to evaluate its safety in subjects with advanced solid tumours. In addition, the study will explore whether PG545 exposure results in changes to chemicals produced by the body that are associated with cancer growth and spread.
