Abstract

E7070 is a synthetic chloro-indolyl sulphonamide that is being developed as an anti cancer agent. In this phase II study, 28 patients with metastatic melanoma received 700 mg/m(2) of E7070 as a 60-min infusion repeated every 3 weeks. Although therapy was well tolerated, with one patient receiving 14 courses of treatment, there were only minor responses on independent radiological review. E7070 does not warrant further development as a single agent for the treatment of metastatic melanoma
