| Drug | Disease | Clinical trial | Participants | Doses | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| COL-3 | Advanced solid tumors | NCT00003721 | 33 | N/A | Completed, no results reported. |
| Brain tumors | NCT00004147 | 33 | 25 mg/m2/day | The study was designed to evaluate the maximum tolerate dose of COL-3 in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma in combination with enzyme-inducing anti-seizure drugs. It showed that administration of COL-3 alone only had a partial response and didn't warrant further studies as a standalone therapy [127]. | |
| Kaposi's sarcoma | N/A | 18 | 25, 50 or 70 mg/m2/day | Patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma were assessed for changes in blood levels of metalloproteinases (MMP)-2, -9 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The treatment was well tolerated and induced both a decline in MMP-2 serum levels and tumour regression [128]. | |
| NCT00020683 | 75 | 50 or 100 mg | Patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma were given one of two doses of COL-3. The lower daily dosage of COL-3 was shown to have a greater response rate compared to the higher dose group. In both dose groups a significant decrease in MMP-2 and MMP-9 serum levels was observed, along with antitumour activity [129]. | ||
| Soft tissue sarcomas | N/A | 15 | 50 mg/m2/day | Patients with soft tissue sarcomas were treated with COL-3 to assess the effects of the drug on disease progression and survival. Treatment did not yield an attenuation of disease progression [130]. | |
| Tigecycline | AML | NCT01332786 | 27 | 50 to 350 mg/day | Completed, no results reported. |
| CML | NCT02883036 | 100 (estimated) | N/A | Not yet recruiting. |
