About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Oral Fluoropyrimidine Capecitabine (Xeloda Roche) Combined With Intravenous Cisplatin in Patients With Advanced Cancer of the Digestive System

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of capecitabine combined with cisplatin in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors .

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the dose-limiting toxicity, maximum tolerated dose, and the recommended phase II dose of capecitabine and cisplatin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancer of the upper gastrointestinal tract (GI), head and neck, lung, breast, or carcinoma of unknown primary.
  • Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
  • Evaluate possible antitumor effectiveness of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the toxic effects of cisplatin and capecitabine at the recommended phase II dose in patients with cancer of the upper GI tract.
  • Determine the overall survival, time to progression, and duration of response in patients treated with this regimen.

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

Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily for 5, 10, or 14 days. Patients also receive cisplatin IV on day 1 of each course. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of capecitabine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). The recommended phase II dose is defined as the dose preceding the MTD, provided no more than 3 of 12 patients experience DLT at that dose. Twenty additional patients with cancer of the upper gastrointestinal tract receive treatment with cisplatin and capecitabine at the recommended phase II dose for at least 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 6 months and then every 6 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-50 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing capecitabine and cisplatin in people with 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 NCT00010023, 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; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
