Picoplatin is a platinum-based antineoplastic agent in clinical development by Poniard Pharmaceuticals (previously NeoRx) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors.[1]

In Phase I and Phase II clinical trials, picoplatin demonstrated activity in a variety of solid tumors, including lung, ovarian, colorectal and hormone-refractory prostate cancer.[2] However, in Phase III trials, picoplatin failed to hit its primary endpoint for advanced small cell lung cancer.[3] Hopes are now pinned on its use for metastatic colorectal cancer.[4]
