Experimental: VAL-083, Dianhydrogalactitol
VAL-083 given by intravenous infusion with a starting dose of 60 mg/m2 once weekly. If this regimen is well tolerated for at least three sequential weekly treatments the patient's dose may be escalated to 67 mg/m2 i.v. If the 67 mg/m2 dose is well tolerated for at least three sequential weekly treatments the patient's dose may be escalated to 75 mg/m2 i.v. once weekly for the remainder of the study. Dosing will be conducted once per week for a total of 16 weeks.
