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.
