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 combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of Combination Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil), Vinorelbine, and Gemcitabine

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 combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of gemcitabine, doxorubicin HCl liposome, and vinorelbine in patients with advanced solid tumors.
  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Patients receive doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 1-2.5 hours on day 1, gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8, and vinorelbine IV over 6-10 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment continues every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of doxorubicin HCl liposome, gemcitabine, and vinorelbine 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 dose limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for up to 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 9-24 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.

Being tested
gemcitabine hydrochloride, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, vinorelbine ditartrate
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing gemcitabine hydrochloride, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride and vinorelbine ditartrate in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Case Comprehensive 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 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 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 11 Jun 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
