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 paclitaxel and BMS-214662 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of BMS-214662 and Paclitaxel 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 paclitaxel and BMS-214662 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of BMS-214662 in combination with paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors. II. Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this treatment regimen in this patient population. IV. Determine the pharmacodynamic effects of this treatment regimen in serial tumor biopsies in these patients. V. Determine the cytotoxicity of this treatment regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of BMS-214662. Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1 and BMS-214662 IV over 1 hour on day 3 of course 1. For all subsequent courses, patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed 30 minutes later by BMS-214662 IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable disease or objectively responding disease receive additional therapy at the investigator's discretion. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of BMS-214662 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. Patients are followed every 4 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 18-21 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-15 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BMS-214662Drug

    This is a dose-escalation study of BMS-214662. BMS-214662 IV over 1 hour on day 3 of course 1. For all subsequent courses, patients receive BMS-214662 IV over 1 hour on day 1 (30 minutes after paclitaxel). Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • paclitaxelDrug

    Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1 of course 1. For all subsequent courses, patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of BMS-214662 in combination with paclitaxel.

    Measured: Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BMS-214662 and paclitaxel in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 2 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 11 Jun 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of BMS-214662 in combination with paclitaxel. (time frame: Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 11 Jun 2010.
