Randomized:
IV or Oral:
Intravenous
Trial Notes:
In pre-clinical models NSCLC and melanoma were found to be most sensitive to AT13387.

Excludes patients who have had previous treatment with HSP-90 inhibitors.

Drug: AT13387
The starting dose will be 10mg/m2/dose, given as one hour intravenous (IV) infusions on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15 and 18 of a twenty-eight day cycle.
Drug: AT13387
Intravenous infusion over one hour on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15 and 18 every four weeks. Treatment may be continued indefinitively in the presence of clinical benefit

Increasing doses of AT13387 will be administered to groups of 3 to 6 patients at each dose level. The pharmacokinetic profile of AT13387 following a one hour intravenous infusion will be determined and the effect of AT13387 on predefined biomarkers in blood plasma and circulating white blood cells will be established. Patients will be closely monitored for the development of side effects which would preclude further dose escalation.
