A Phase I Study of Systemic Gene Therapy With SGT-94 in Patients With Solid Tumors

Summary

This is a Phase I study designed to evaluate the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SGT-94, a novel, tumor-targeted, systemic gene therapy agent for cancer. In addition, we will look for evidence of RB94 expression within tumor tissue after systemic administration of SGT-94.
