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 Study of Oxaliplatin (NSC# 266046), Irinotecan, and Capecitabine in Patients With Solid Tumors

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 maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of irinotecan and capecitabine when given in combination with a fixed dose of oxaliplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the antitumor response of these patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of irinotecan and capecitabine.

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours followed 1 hour later by irinotecan IV over 30 minutes once weekly for 4 weeks. Patients also receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-5 weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of irinotecan and capecitabine 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.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 9-15 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-15 months.

What participants receive

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

  • capecitabineDrug

    Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-5 weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of irinotecan and capecitabine until the maximum tolerated dose(MTD).

  • irinotecan hydrochlorideDrug

    Also called camptothecin-11, irinotecan, irinotecan HCl

    Patients receive irinotecan IV over 30 minutes once weekly for 4 weeks (one hour after oxaliplatin). Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of irinotecan and capecitabine until the maximum tolerated dose(MTD).

  • oxaliplatinDrug

    Also called diaminocyclohexane oxalatoplatinum, oxalatoplatin, oxalatoplatinum

    Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks 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 and dose-limiting toxicity of irinotecan and capecitabine when given in combination with a fixed dose of oxaliplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.

    Measured: Treatment cycle is four weeks, repeated every six weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing capecitabine, irinotecan hydrochloride and oxaliplatin 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of irinotecan and capecitabine when given in combination with a fixed dose of oxaliplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors. (time frame: Treatment cycle is four weeks, repeated every six weeks 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00006465, 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 11 Jun 2010.
