  • Use of non-enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs is allowed.
  • Toxicities incurred as a result of previous anticancer therapy (radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or surgery) must be resolved to ≤ grade 2 (as defined by CTCAE version 4.0).
  • Written informed consent according to local guidelines.
  • Local radiation of CNS symptomatic sites more than four weeks prior to start of the study is allowed.
  • Exclusion criteria:
  • Less than 4 weeks from the last treatment of chemotherapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy and less than 6 weeks for nitrosoureas and mitomycin C.
  • Less than 4 weeks from the last radiotherapy of the brain or spinal cord/cauda equine.
  • Patients that have received a maximum cumulative dose of free (i.e., non-liposomal) or liposomal doxorubicin \> 360mg/m2 or free epirubicin \> 600mg/m2
  • Current or recent (less than 4 weeks before first 2B3-101 treatment) treatment with another investigational drug.
  • Any other current anticancer therapy
  • Inadequate bone marrow function, defined as: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC): \< 1.5 x 109/L, or platelet count \< 100 x 109/L or haemoglobin \< 6 mmol/L.
  • Inadequate liver function
  • Inadequate renal function
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • For female subjects of childbearing potential (defined as \< 2 years after last menstruation and not surgically sterile) and male subjects who are not surgically sterile and with female partners of childbearing potential: absence of effective, non-hormonal means of contraception (intrauterine contraceptive device, barrier method of contraception in conjunction with spermicidal gel).
  • Major surgical procedure (including open biopsy, excluding central line IV and Port-a-cath) within 4 weeks prior to the first study treatment, or anticipation of the need for major surgery during the course of the study treatment.
  • Grade 3 or 4 motor, sensory, or cranial neuropathy symptoms (as defined by CTCAE version 4.0) caused by previous chemotherapy.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic \> 150 mm Hg and/or diastolic \>100mm Hg).
  • Clinically significant (i.e. active) cardiovascular disease defined as:
  • Stroke within 6 months prior to treatment with 2B3-101 (day 1);
  • Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) within 6 months prior to day 1;
  • Myocardial infarction (MI) within ≤ 6 months prior to day 1;
  • Unstable angina pectoris (AP);
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater Congestive Heart Failure (CHF);
  • Cardiac arrhythmia, except stable atrium fibrillations;
  • LVEF by MUGA or ECHO \< 50%.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drug components or its excipients (doxorubicin, PEG or GSH).
  • Evidence of any other medical conditions that may interfere with the planned treatment, affect patient compliance or place the patient at high risk from treatment-related complications.
  • Contra-indications for lumbar punctures:
  • blood clotting disorders (INR\>1.5, platelets \<20x109 /l, aPTT \> 1.5 ULN). Lumbar puncture after platelets transfusion resulting into platelets \> 20x109 /l after transfusion is allowed.
  • therapeutic anticoagulant treatment that cannot be interrupted for 24 hours. Low dose prophylactic treatment with low molecular weight heparins is allowed.
  • cerebral space-occupying lesions with a risk of cerebral herniation.
  • spinal space-occupying lesions with a risk of myelocompression or conus/cauda compression.
  • Active systemic or CNS infection.
