Phase I Dose Escalation Study of ON 01910.Na by 24 Hour Continuous Infusion Per Week in Patients With Advanced Cancer

Inclusion Criteria:

- Must have histologically confirmed solid tumor (leukemias and lymphomas excluded)
malignancy that is incurable and for which standard (FDA approved or established
standard clinical practice), curative, or palliative measures do not exist or are no
longer effective.

- Patients with disease amenable to sequential biopsies will be requested to undergo
two tumor biopsies and two normal skin biopsies, but patients may decline and still
be eligible for enrollment during this escalation stage.

- At least 3 weeks since the last dose of other potentially myelosuppressive treatment
(at least 6 weeks since last dose of nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) and recovery from
manifestations of reversible drug toxicity (alopecia, stable residual neuropathy, and
residual hand and foot syndrome are excluded). Patients with prior doxorubicin
chemotherapy must have total cumulative dose of no more than 450 mg/m2.

- Patients with prior radiotherapy are eligible provided a minimum of 4 weeks have
passed and the maximal area of hematopoietic active bone marrow treated was less than
25%.

- ECOG performance status ≤2.

- Patients must have nearly normal organ and marrow function as defined below:

- Hgb > 9 gm/dl (must not require transfusional support but erythropoietin therapy is
permitted)

- WBC > 4,000 per microliter

- Absolute neutrophil count > 1,500 per microliter

- Platelets ≥ 100,000 per microliter

- Total bilirubin within 1.5 times institutional upper normal limit

- AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper normal limit. (If liver function
abnormalities are due to metastatic disease, patients are eligible provided the
transaminases are < 5 times institutional upper normal limit. Patients with primary
liver disease with these parameters will be ineligible.)

- Serum creatinine within normal institutional limits or estimated creatinine clearance
>60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal.

- Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
prior to study entry.

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
document.

- All ethnic groups are eligible for this trial.

Inclusion Criteria - Dose Confirmation Phase Same inclusion criteria as in the Dose
Escalation phase described above, except Patients must have an ECOG performance of 0 or 1.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Recent major surgery (within the past 14 days), chemotherapy within 3 weeks (6 weeks
for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) or radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to entering the
study, or those who have not recovered from adverse events (except alopecia, stable
residual neuropathy, and residual hand and foot syndrome) due to previously
administered agents.

- Patients may not be on any other investigational agents or concurrent chemotherapy,
radiotherapy, hormonal treatments, bone marrow transplantation, or immunotherapy.
Patients who have previously had a Bone Marrow Transplant are excluded from this
study.

- Known brain metastases, except brain metastases that have been previously removed or
irradiated and currently have no clinical impact.

- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to ON 01910.Na.

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active
infection, bleeding, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris,
cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit
compliance with study requirements.

- Pregnant and nursing women are excluded.

- HIV-positive patients receiving combination anti-retroviral therapy are excluded.

- Ascites requiring active medical management including paracentesis, peripheral
bilateral edema, hyponatremia (serum sodium value less than 134 Meq/L).
