About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose-Finding Study of Oxaliplatin (NSC #266046) Combined With Continuous Infusion Topotecan Hydrochloride as Chemotherapy for Patients With Previously Treated Ovarian Cancer

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 oxaliplatin with topotecan in treating patients who have previously treated ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxic effects of oxaliplatin and topotecan in patients with previously treated ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
  • Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the antitumor activity of this treatment regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the correlation between the pharmacokinetic and safety data of this regimen in these patients.

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

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 15 and topotecan IV continuously on days 1-15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with measurable disease who achieve a response may receive additional therapy at the discretion of the principal investigator.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of oxaliplatin and topotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed through day 30.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 15 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing oxaliplatin and topotecan hydrochloride in people with Fallopian Tube Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, 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 5 Apr 2011. 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00006391, 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 5 Apr 2011.
