About

The purpose of this study is to find a safe and tolerable dose of Lipotecan® when administered to patients with advanced solid tumors.

Full description

Lipotecan® is a drug product of TLC388 HCl, which is a potent camptothecin analog with cytotoxic activities against a variety of human tumor cell lines in vitro and anti-tumor activities in several xenograft models with human tumor cell lines. Structurally, TLC388 HCl is related to other camptothecins, but it has been chemically modified to improve stability and potency, and to minimize toxicities.
