Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined as highest dose of ABC294640 at which 0 or 1 patient of 6 experiences a DLT.
Patients will be followed until the point in time when no more than 1 of 6 patients has a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in cycle 1, and expected 54 days.

MTD defined as the highest dose at which 0 or 1 patient of 6 experiences a DLT. The DLT rate will be estimated with its 95% confidence interval.

Safety assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 4.0.
Weekly during course 1, bi-weekly for all subsequent courses, and at the end of treatment study-- expected to occur at an average of 6 months from study start.

Assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 4.0. Adverse events (AEs) will be coded by body system and summary tables with incidence rates of adverse events will be generated. Descriptive statistics of AEs will be reported by doses and for subsets of patients with serious adverse events (SAEs), patients who discontinue due to AEs, and patients with related AEs.
