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.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Of 3-Aminopyridine-2-Carboxaldehyde Thiosemicarbazone (3-AP, Triapine) In Combination With Cisplatin And Paclitaxel In Patients With Advanced And Metastatic 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 3-AP, cisplatin, and paclitaxel in treating patients who have advanced or metastatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the safety and tolerability of 3-AP, cisplatin, and paclitaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer.
  • Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive 3-AP IV continuously over 96 hours on days 1-4 and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 3. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving complete response (CR) receive 1 additional course of therapy after documented CR. Patients with partial response or stable disease may receive therapy for up to 6 months.

Cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of 3-AP, paclitaxel, and cisplatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 25-30 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing cisplatin, paclitaxel and triapine in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Vion Pharmaceuticals at 2 sites 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 18 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 18 Jul 2013.
