Phase 1
This trial was done to see what happened to a drug called GSAO in the body. This trial was supported by Cancer Research UK.
Cancers need a blood supply to be able to grow. Research in the laboratory had shown that GSAO could help stop the growth of blood vessels (anti angiogenesis) in cancers. Researchers hoped that it would help stop angiogenesis and slow down or stop the growth of cancer in people.
The aims of this trial were to find out
The best dose of GSAO to give
The effect GSAO has on the body
About side effects of GSAO
How GSAO affects cancer cells
Recruitment start: 24 January 2008
