18+ years

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of bavituximab when administered via a vein, and to examine how bavituximab behaves in the body - how quickly it is taken up by the body and how lo...

Detailed Description

The genetic variations observed in most advanced cancers decrease the effectiveness of many anti-cancer agents through the development of drug resistance. Therefore, alternative approaches to the dire...
