About this study

Official title: Phase I Dose Escalation Study of Tirapazamine (NSC 130181) in Combination With Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors

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 combining tirapazamine, carboplatin, and paclitaxel in treating patients who have advanced malignant solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of tirapazamine in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors who have or have not received prior chemotherapy.
  • Assess the toxicity and preliminary efficacy of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of this regimen in these patients.
  • Investigate potential predictors of response by studying patient tissue specimens after receiving this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of tirapazamine. Patients are stratified according to prior chemotherapy status (previously untreated vs previously treated).

Patients receive tirapazamine IV over 2 hours, paclitaxel IV over 3 hours, and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes. Treatment continues every 21 days for a maximum of 8 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Some patients may continue therapy in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of tirapazamine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. An additional 12 patients in the previously untreated stratum are treated at the MTD.

Patients are followed indefinitely.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 36-68 patients (18-34 per stratum) will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing carboplatin, paclitaxel and tirapazamine in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 4 sites 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 8 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005078, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Jun 2015.
