Early, generally small, shot-gun type of trials to find out if the drug might give some benefits in a wide variety of different tumors. Gives the impression that the investigators are not really sure about what they should be looking for.

Trisenox may well bring benefits in solid cancers, but we will have to wait for conclusion of these trials before we know more.

The drug is interesting as both its side-effect profile and mode of action might differ from the "nomal" chemotherapies. It might very well find a niche in various types of drug combinations.

From the prospectus CTIC filed for their secondary share issue it is pretty clear that the Trisenox development focus for the time being is restricted to blood-borne cancers.

We have recently refocused our TRISENOX development efforts to approximately 40 clinical and investigator-sponsored trials, with an emphasis on blood-related cancers, including front-line APL and multiple myeloma.

and

We believe further investments in registration-directed trials for various blood-related cancers including front-line APL, multiple myeloma and MDS could accelerate TRISENOX sales growth and increase the drug’s commercial potential.
