Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol SpecificPhase 1NCT00003899
Chemotherapy Plus Bone Marrow or Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors
A Phase 1 study testing filgrastim, cyclophosphamide and melphalan in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Fred Hutchinson 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 chemotherapy with bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: High-Dose Consolidation With Escalating Doses of Melphalan and Thiotepa for Stage IV Breast Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of melphalan and thiotepa plus bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory solid tumors.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of melphalan and thiopeta in patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors. II. Evaluate the overall survival and response rate in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on day 1 and paclitaxel IV over 4 or 24 hours on day 2, followed by daily filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously beginning on day 3 and continuing through day 7 or until WBCs are greater than 100,000 cells/mm3. Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) or autologous bone marrow is collected on days 5-7. At 30-50 days following mobilization, patients receive melphalan IV over 15-60 minutes on days -5 and -4 and thiotepa IV over 2 hours on days -3 and -2, followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation or PBSC infusion on day 0. Sequential dose escalation of melphalan is followed by sequential dose escalation of thiotepa. Dose escalation in cohorts of 5 patients each continues until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 4, 3 of 7, 4 of 11, or 5 of 15 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Patients are followed at 60 days and at 12 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study within 4 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing filgrastim, cyclophosphamide and melphalan in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Fred Hutchinson 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 4 Oct 2016. 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 4 Oct 2016.
