Brief Summary

Assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α (rhTNF-α) when given as a single dose intravenously and in combination with liposomal doxorubicin in human subjects

Conditions

Solid Tumors; Lymphomas

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of a single dose of intravenous recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α plus liposomal doxorubicin

  MTD is the dose level below the one that produces 2 or more Dose-Limiting Toxicities

  Up to 22 days

• Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of a single dose of intravenous recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α plus liposomal doxorubicin

  Toxicity Criteria will be those listed in NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Any grade 3 cytokine release syndrome/acute infusion reaction or allergic and toxicity Grade 3 and above will be considered a DLT except: * Grade 3 toxicities that recover to grade 1 or less within 48 hours after standard supportive treatment. * Grade 4 neutropenia that recovers within 14 days. * Grade 4 thrombocytopenia that recovers within 14 days. * Grade 4 anemia that recovers within 14 days.

  up to 22 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Overall tumor response using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1)

  4 weeks

• Caelyx/doxorubicin plasma levels

  0, 24, 48 and 192 hours post-dose
