A Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol Following Single Dose Administration in Healthy Subjects

This is a Phase 1, open-label, non-randomized, dose-finding, study of Vitamin E
δ-Tocotrienol in subjects with resectable pancreatic tumors.

Vitamin E tocotrienols have been shown to exhibit cancer-preventive activities in
preclinical studies. Vitamin E tocotrienols are composed of α-, β-, δ-, and γ-tocotrienols.
The investigators preclinical studies indicate that δ-tocotrienol possesses the most potent
antitumor activity against pancreatic cancer. It is believed that this micronutrient may
have a role in the prevention of pancreatic cancer in healthy participants who are at
increased risk of developing the disease.
