Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
TH-302 Dose escalation
The initial dose of TH-302 will be 240 mg/m2. A Dose Level minus 1 and 2 will be built into the study in the event that subjects experience excessive toxicity at Dose Level 1. Dose escalation will continue with approximately 40% increases from the previous dose level; however lower dose increases of 20-39% may be implemented after consultation between the Investigators, Medical Monitor and Sponsor with the percent increase dependent on the current dose level and the cumulative safety data.
