About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Flavopiridol in Combination With Cisplatin in Patients With Advanced 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 flavopiridol plus cisplatin or carboplatin in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of flavopiridol and cisplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors. (Part 1)
  • Determine the MTD of carboplatin when combined with flavopiridol in another group of patients with advanced solid tumors. (Part 2)
  • Determine the toxic effects of these regimens in this patient population.
  • Determine the objective clinical response in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of these regimens in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of flavopiridol and cisplatin (part 1), followed by a dose-escalation study of carboplatin (part 2).

  • Part 1: Patients receive flavopiridol IV over 24 hours. Two weeks later, patients receive cisplatin IV over 2 hours immediately followed by flavopiridol IV over 24 hours. Treatment with cisplatin/flavopiridol continues every 3 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Sequential dose escalation of flavopiridol is followed by sequential dose escalation of cisplatin. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of flavopiridol and then cisplatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

  • Part 2: Additional patients are accrued for part 2. Those patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes immediately followed by flavopiridol IV over 24 hours. Treatment continues every 3 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of carboplatin until the MTD is determined. The MTD is defined as in part 1.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 36-48 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing alvocidib, carboplatin and cisplatin in people with Breast Cancer and Melanoma (Skin), run by Mayo Clinic 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 3 Aug 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 3 Aug 2011.
