Brief Summary: The primary objective of this current phase I trial is to study the safety and tolerability of an orally administered dosage form of ridaforolimus This will be accomplished by an ascending dose study of several dosage regimens in patients with advanced malignancies
Detailed Description: The advent of oral anticancer therapy has created a means to reduce dependency on a system for treating cancer that relies on hospital-based services to administer treatment While known disadvantages of oral therapies such as potential variable absorption unpredictable bioavailability and sometimes poor patient compliance pose challenges the use of orally administered compounds permits investigation of alternative or varied dose regimens which may ultimately enhance overall patient care

Ridaforolimus is currently being studied in phase 1 and phase II clinical trials in patients with advanced cancers Thus far these trials have demonstrated that ridaforolimus has a favorable safety profile and possesses anticancer activity when administered as a 30-minute intravenous IV infusion daily x 5 every-two-weeks or on a weekly schedule The primary objective of this current phase I trial is to study the safety and tolerability of an orally administered dosage form of ridaforolimus This will be accomplished by an ascending dose study of several dosage regimens in patients with advanced malignancies
