Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The main objective of the trial is to document the safety of the combination (escalation doses of NGR-hTNF, from 0.2 mcg/sqm to 1.6 mcg/sqm , with a fixed dose of doxorubicin, 75 mg/sqm). Safety will be established by clinical and laboratory assessment according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC ).

- description
- An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence or experience in a patient or clinical investigation subject treated administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a casual relationship with this treatment. An adverse event (AE) can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
