Official Title: “An Assessment of the Effect of Food and Antacid on BIIB021 Pharmacokinetics in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors.”

This study is designed to assess the effect of food and antacid use on the pharmacokinetic properties of BIIB021.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Crossover Assignment, Bio-availability Study

Study Primary Completion Date: March 2010

This study has 2 phases (the Food Phase and the Antacid Phase), each consisting of a 2-period, 2-sequence, 2-treatment crossover design. The Food Phase will assess the effect of a high fat meal on the pharmacokinetics of 100 mg BIIB021, and the Antacid Phase will assess the effect of an antacid (ranitidine) on the pharmacokinetics of 450 mg BIIB021 in the same subjects. Ranitidine 150 mg will be taken the evening before and the morning of the antacid dosing day.

• Drug: BIIB021 and Food
  • Assessing the effect of food use on BIIB021
• Drug: BIIB0121 and Antacid
  • Assessing the effect of antacid use on BIIB021

Arms, Groups and Cohorts in this Clinical Trial

• Experimental: BIIB021 and Food
  • The food phase will assess the effect of a high fat meal on the pharmacokinetics of BIIB021.
• Experimental: BIIB021 and Antacid
  • Antacid phase will assess the effect of an antacid on the pharmacokinetics of BIIB021.

Primary Measures

• The primary objective of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of BIIB021 taken under fed conditions compared to BIIB021 taken under fasting conditions in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
  • Time Frame: Cycle 1, Day 3
    Safety Issue?: No

Secondary Measures

• To assess the pharmacokinetics of BIIB021 taken with an antacid (ranitidine) compared to BIIB021 taken with no antacid, both under fasting conditions
  • Time Frame: Cycle 1, Day 8 and Day 10
    Safety Issue?: No
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of BIIB021
  • Time Frame: 6 months
    Safety Issue?: Yes
• To evaluate the antitumor activity of BIIB021
  • Time Frame: 6 months
    Safety Issue?: No
• To evaluate the effect of BIIB021 on pharmacodynamic biomarkers.
  • Time Frame: 6 months
    Safety Issue?: No

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed solid tumors who have failed or are not candidates for standard therapies or for whom no approved therapy is available.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of greater or equal to 2.
• Medically able to tolerate a high fat meal and to fast as per protocol.
• Expected survival time of at least 3 months in the opinion of the Investigator.

• Major surgery or radiation within 28 days of the first dose of BIIB021.
• Uncontrolled, severe medical illness, which in the opinion of the Investigator and/or
• Sponsor could compromise protocol objectives.

• History of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
• Chronic diarrhea (excess of 2 to 3 stools/day above normal frequency).
• Active bacterial or viral infection requiring concurrent treatment.
• History of hepatitis B or C or human immunodeficiency virus.
• History of central nervous system metastasis.
• Any thrombotic event occurred <3 months prior to Day 1.
