Study arms

  • Experimental
    E7130 (2-Week Regimen)

    Part 1 (Cycle 1; 28 days): The first cohort of 3 participants will receive 25 micrograms per meters squared (μg/m\^2) of E7130, on Day 1 and Day 15 as an intravenous infusion. If a drug-related Grade 2 or higher toxicity excluding clinically insignificant events is not observed in the initial cohort, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be evaluated in successive dose levels with single participants until such a toxicity is observed. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be determined. Part 2: Participants with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and urothelial carcinoma will be evaluated at the dose level determined in Part 1 in a 2-week or in a 3-week regimen based on the evaluations in Part 1.

    Drug: E7130

  • Experimental
    E7130 (3-Week Regimen)

    Part 1 (Cycle 1; 21 days): On Day 1, participants will receive E7130 at (-1) a lower dose than the dose at which the first DLT was observed in the 2-week regimen. Once the MTD will be determined. Part 2: Participants with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and urothelial carcinoma will be evaluated at the dose level determined in Part 1 in a 3-week or in a 2-week regimen based on the evaluations in Part 1.

    Drug: E7130

Interventions

  • DrugE7130

    Starting dose of 25 μg/m\^2 on Day 1 and Day 15 of Cycle 1.

  • DrugE7130

    Starting dose is lower than one at which the first DLT was observed in the 2-week regimen administered on Day 1 of Cycle 1.
