Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety, DLT, and MTD [ Time Frame: Measured during the first cycle of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • PK profile and disease response [ Time Frame: Within the first 2 cycles of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 85
Study Start Date: March 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date: March 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Dose escalation
Treatment Schedule 3 will consist of dosing on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of each 21 day cycle (3 weeks equals 1 cycle) and Treatment Schedule 4 will consist of dosing on Day 1 of each 28 day cycle (4 weeks equals 1 cycle)
 Drug: Imetelstat Sodium (GRN163L)
Dose increase by 25% if tolerated infused over 2 hours

Detailed Description:

GRN163L is a telomerase template antagonist with in vitro and in vivo activity in a variety of tumor model systems. Telomerase is an enzyme that is active primarily in tumor cells and is crucial for the indefinite growth of tumor cells. Inhibition of telomerase may result in antineoplastic effects.
