Ifosfamide and Topotecan in Treating Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors
A Phase 1 study testing ifosfamide and topotecan hydrochloride in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

About this study
Official title: A Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of Topotecan and Ifosfamide in Patients With Refractory Non-Hematologic Malignancies.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy with ifosfamide and topotecan in treating patients with refractory solid tumors.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated doses and sequence of topotecan and ifosfamide that can be administered daily for 3 days on an every 4 week schedule in patients with refractory solid tumors. II. Evaluate toxicity of topotecan and ifosfamide when administered on this schedule in this patient population. III. Evaluate the pharmacokinetics related to sequencing of topotecan and ifosfamide and the more efficacious, less toxic schedule of treatment. IV. Assess the evidence of antineoplastic activity for this combination of agents.
OUTLINE: This is an open label, dose escalation study. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive ifosfamide at an initial fixed dose plus escalating doses of topotecan by 30 minute infusion daily for 3 successive days. Cycle repeats every 28 days. After topotecan dosage is escalated for a total of 3 dose levels, then ifosfamide dose is escalated by one dose level. The first patient enrolled is treated with ifosfamide followed by topotecan for cycle 1, and for cycle 2 the order of drugs is reversed. The second patient is treated with the same drugs but with topotecan administered before ifosfamide in the first cycle and then reversed in the second cycle. From the third cycle onward, ifosfamide is followed by topotecan, but the first two cycles continue to alternate with each subsequent patient entered. Filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; G-CSF) is given for all cycles on days 5-12 or until the absolute granulocyte count has reached its nadir and recovered. If there is no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in a cohort, new patients are entered at the next highest dose level. If 1 of 3 patients at any level experiences DLT, an additional 3 patients are treated at that level before proceeding to a higher level. If 2 or more patients experience DLT at any dose level, the level immediately preceding that level is defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Three more patients are treated at the MTD to ensure that no DLT is experienced at that level. After MTD is identified, 10 additional patients are accrued at that level. Patients with minor response, stable disease, or symptomatic or marker improvement may continue on treatment for up to 6 cycles. After 6 cycles, continuation on treatment is at the investigator's discretion.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: There will be a maximum of 24 patients accrued into this study over 8 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing ifosfamide and topotecan hydrochloride in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 27 Jun 2013. 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 27 Jun 2013.
