PK Reports

Preclinical Pharmacokinetic (PK) data are available for a number of high-priority drugs being explored for activity against pediatric solid tumors. If interested in other drugs, please inquire using the Request form, and data will be provided if it’s available. Attached files and additional details may also be requested using the Request form.

Standard of Care regimens used in current preclinical trials are available in the Appendix. Data from completed preclinical Phase I (tolerability), Phase II (small pilot efficacy study) and Phase III (randomized, placebo-controlled) trials are available by request. For more details and descriptions of Phase I, II and III, please see Stewart et al, 2014 Cell Reports.
