About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Farnesyltransferase Inhibitor BMS-214662 (NSC 710086) Escalating to a 24 Hour Continuous Intravenous Infusion in Patients With Solid Tumors

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of BMS-214662 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and identify the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of the investigational agent BMS-214662 when escalated to a 24-hour continuous intravenous infusion every 7 days for 3 consecutive weeks to patients with solid tumors who have failed curative or survival prolonging therapy or for who no such therapies exist.

II. To establish and assess the safety of an appropriate dose for Phase II studies.

III. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of BMS-214662 in patients when escalated to a 24-hour continuous IV infusion.

IV. To assess the extent and duration of farnesyltransferase inhibition in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and other relevant surrogate markers of pharmacological activity.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe any preliminary evidence of antitumor activity. II. To establish pharmacodynamic relationships for the pharmacological effect of the drug upon surrogate markers of activity and host toxicity.

III. To compare the toxicity profiles for the 1 hour IV infusion and 24 hr continuous IV infusion administration schedules, assuming that the 24 hr infusion schedule is feasible.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-prolongation, dose-escalation study.

Single patient cohorts receive BMS-214662 IV over escalating periods of 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours weekly for 3 weeks followed by 1 week of rest. If no patient experiences dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), dose escalation proceeds in the single patient cohorts.

Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Individual patient cohorts may increase their duration of BMS-214662 infusion in subsequent courses to the current duration safely reached.

Beginning with the infusion level at which DLT is first encountered by a single patient, 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 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience DLT. An additional cohort of 10 patients is treated at the MTD.

Patients are followed for at least 4 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-40 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BMS-214662, based on the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC) v2.0

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  2. Adverse events, based on the NCI CTC v2.0

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Plasma concentration-time profile of BMS-214662 when given as a continuous IV infusion escalating to 24 hr

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Determination whether the pharmacokinetic behavior is linear as dose is escalated

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

  2. Determination of dose that provides potentially effective level of systemic exposure to the drug as indicated by information from preclinical studies

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

  3. Interpatient variability in the steady state plasma concentration (C^ss) and other pharmacokinetic variables in patients treated at the MTD peak

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

  4. Correlations between pharmacokinetic variables and pretreatment laboratory values, toxicity, and indications of biological response (farnesyltransferase activity)

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BMS-214662, laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological study in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. 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 1 Feb 2013. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BMS-214662, based on the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC) v2.0 (time frame: Up to 28 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Feb 2013.
