R115777 Plus Topotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
A Phase 1 study testing tipifarnib and topotecan hydrochloride in people with 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. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of R115777 plus topotecan in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phase I and Pharmacokinetic Study of the Farnesyl Transferase Inhibitor, R115777, in Combination With Topotecan
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 R115777 plus topotecan in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the dose-limiting toxic effects of R115777 and topotecan in patients with advanced solid tumors.
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine pharmacokinetic profiles of topotecan alone and in combination with R115777 in these patients.
- Measure the inhibition of ras-farnesylation and topo-1 inhibition in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in these patients when treated with this regimen.
- Determine activity of this treatment in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.
Patients receive oral R115777 twice daily on days 2-21 (in the first course only R115777 begins on day 3) and topotecan IV continuously on days 1-21. Treatment continues every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of R115777 and topotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 2 of 3 or 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-24 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing tipifarnib and topotecan hydrochloride in people with 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 9 Nov 2012. 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 9 Nov 2012.
