Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/OrganPhase 1NCT00003144
Chemotherapy and Amifostine in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors
A Phase 1 study testing amifostine trihydrate, cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride in people with Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/Organ and Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs, such as amifostine, may protect normal cells from the bad side effects of chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phase I Study of Amifostine (Ethyol) as a Cytoprotector of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin Combination
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs, such as amifostine, may protect normal cells from the bad side effects of chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase I trial to study the effectiveness of amifostine in treating patients who are receiving chemotherapy for recurrent or refractory solid tumors.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the ability of amifostine to facilitate increased dose escalation of gemcitabine and cisplatin. II. Compare the dose limiting toxicities of gemcitabine and cisplatin administered with and without amifostine in these patients. III. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of gemcitabine and cisplatin administered with amifostine in these patients. IV. Determine whether synergy is produced by administering gemcitabine and cisplatin on the same day.
OUTLINE: This is a two stage study. The first stage is a randomized study, and the second stage is a dose escalation study. In the first stage of the study, patients receive either intravenous gemcitabine/amifostine/cisplation (GAP) or gemcitabine/cisplatin (GP) in the first cycle. Patients are administered the other arm in the second cycle. In the second stage of the study (dose escalation), the initial dose of GP or GAP is given on days 1 and 8 every 28 days. Dose escalation is carried out in cohorts of 3 patients per dose level. If 1 of 3 patients experiences dose limiting toxicity (DLT), then 3 more patients are accrued at the same dose level. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the lowest dose at which 2 of 6 or 2 of 3 patients experience DLT. Patients experiencing grade 3 or 4 toxicity or tumor progression are removed from the study. Patients will be reassessed every 12 weeks.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 32 patients will be accrued over 12-24 months in the first stage of this study, and 9-12 patients will be accrued for the second stage..

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing amifostine trihydrate, cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride in people with Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/Organ and Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Mar 2011.
