Trial design
Randomised, placebo comparator: 1h-iv placebo 1 vial/day during treatment periods (arm c: placebo in all four treatment periods; arm b: placebo during first two treatment periods then plitidepsin during last two). active comparator: plitidepsin 1.5 mg administered as 1-hour iv infusion during treatment periods (arm a: plitidepsin during all four treatment periods; arm b: plitidepsin during last two periods). treatment periods occur days 1-3, 16-18, 31-33 and 46-48.-controlled Phase II trial in Spain.
