A phase I clinical trial identified gastrointestinal and cardiac effects as limiting dosing.[3] Two phase II clinical trials were suspended investigating ZD6126 in metastatic renal cell carcinoma and metastatic colorectal cancer.[4]
ZD6126 was being investigated by AstraZeneca as a vascular disrupting agent (VDA). However, the trials were halted, after it became apparent that ZD6126 was too cardiotoxic at the required doses.[5]
