NB1011 Administered by Continuous Infusion in Cancers That Overexpress Thymidylate Synthase (TS)

Summary

The purpose of this trial is to assess the tolerability and safety of NB1011 in the treatment of patients with cancers that overexpress TS, such as ovarian, gastrointestinal, colorectal, bladder, breast, and lung cancers.
