Purpose of study: to assess the safety and effectiveness of iniparib, a novel anticancer agent, in combination with one dose of carboplatin, when given to dogs with cancer. Iniparib has been safely evaluated in human patients with cancer and in normal, non-tumor-bearing dogs. Carboplatin is a commonly used chemotherapy drug for the treatment of cancer in dogs.
Dogs that have been diagnosed with a new or recurrent malignant mammary tumor, melanoma, head and neck carcinoma, or soft tissue sarcoma may be eligible for this study. Dogs will be excluded from this study if they have had any prior therapy for their cancer other than surgery.
