Summary
This is an exploratory phase 2, randomized placebo-controlled trial with stratification for
disease and chemotherapy type. The study is subsequently closed to enrollment in all arms
except patients with metastatic colorectal cancer which would be randomized to either
capecitabine plus perifosine or capecitabine alone.
The effects of perifosine may be manifested by increased time to progression, tumor
regression reflected in partial or complete responses, or a combination of these outcomes.
The primary goal of this trial is to obtain a preliminary and objective assessment of the
effects of perifosine on time to progression.
