A safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic analysis of two phase I studies of multitargeted small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor XL647 with an intermittent and continuous dosing schedule in patients with advanced solid malignancies.

For oral XL647, the MTD was 4.68 mg/kg or 350 mg fixed dose when administered once-daily for 5 consecutive days of every 14-day cycle and was 300 mg when administered once-daily continuously. XL647 was well tolerated at doses up to the MTD.
