SB497115 is an oral agent which activates the thrombopoietin receptor and increases platelet counts in healthy volunteers. This study is examining several different doses of SB497115 versus placebo as treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors scheduled to receive chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel every 21 days. Patients will receive SB497115 on days 2-11 of each 21 day cycle for at least 2 cycles of chemotherapy and for a maximum of 8 cycles of chemotherapy.
A Double-Blind, Randomized, Multicenter, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Dose Ranging Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of an Oral Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonist (SB-497115-GR) Administered at 50, 75, and 100 mg to Cancer Patients Receiving Multiple Cycles of Chemotherapy
SB497115/Placebo will be administered for at least 2 cycles. Additional cycles are permited if: 1) chemotherapy is continued, 2) the subject appears to be benefitting from the study drug, and 3) the subject has not encountered greater than moderate toxicity with the study drug.
