  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age > or = 18 years.
  • Karnofsky performance score > or = 60.
  • Histopathologic confirmation of the diagnosis of a solid tumor malignancy. The brain metastasis diagnosis per se does not have to be pathologically confirmed if the clinical and neuro radiographic picture is typical.
  • MRI (or CT if the patient cannot undergo MRI) evidence of evaluable disease in the brain.

  • BUN and serum creatinine both < 1.5 times upper limit of normal.
  • Total and direct bilirubin both < 1.5 times upper limit of normal.
  • SGOT and SGPT both < or = 3 times upper limit of normal.
  • Alkaline phosphatase < or = 2 times upper limit of normal.
  • At least two weeks must have elapsed from brain biopsy, craniotomy, or other surgery.
  • Life expectancy > or = 8 weeks.
  • Patient or their legal guardian or legal next-of-kin must provide written informed consent prior to patient's registration on study.
  • At least four weeks must have elapsed from previous external beam radiation therapy, or eight weeks from stereotactic radiosurgery.
  • Patients treated with radiosurgery should have evidence of progression at a distant site in the brain, or confirmation of tumor progression by biopsy or PET scan.

Who cannot join

  • Previous treatment with temozolomide, dacarbazine or vinorelbine.
  • Patients who have not recovered from all acute toxicities of prior therapies.
  • Patients with evidence of leptomeningeal metastases or primary dural metastases.
  • Patients who are poor medical risks because of nonmalignant systemic disease, as well as those with acute infection requiring treatment with intravenous antibiotics.
  • Patients whose psychiatric condition would, in the judgment of the principal investigator, make it unlikely that they could adhere to the requirements of the protocol.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial Of Temozolomide And Vinorelbine For Patients With Recurrent Brain Metastases

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of temozolomide and vinorelbine in treating patients who have recurrent brain metastases.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of vinorelbine when administered in combination with temozolomide in patients with recurrent brain metastases (phase I accrual completed).
  • Determine the safety and feasibility of this treatment regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the efficacy of this treatment regimen, in terms of objective radiographic response and overall and progression-free survival, in these patients.

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

Patients receive vinorelbine IV over 5-10 minutes on days 1 and 8 and oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-7 and 15-21. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of vinorelbine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, an additional 20-35 patients will be treated at that dose level.

Patients are followed every 3-4 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 3 patients will be accrued for the phase I portion of this study and 20-35 patients will be accrued for the phase II portion of this study within 2 years.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT00026494
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Temozolomide and VinorelbineExperimentalPatients will be treated with vinorelbine on days 1 and 8 of each cycle; temozolomide will be administered on days 1 to 7 and 15 to 21 of each cycle. The dose level of temozolomide will be given at a dose of 150 mg/m2/day. A cycle will be defined as 28 days of treatment.
Receives: Drug: temozolomide; Drug: vinorelbine tartrate

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Radiographic Response Assessed by Macdonald Criteria Every 2 Months

    All patients will have their tumor measurements recorded at baseline and at the time of each MRI scan. Lesions must be measured in two dimensions.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing temozolomide and vinorelbine tartrate in people with Metastatic Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. 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 Jan 2016. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jan 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Radiographic Response Assessed by Macdonald Criteria Every 2 Months (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00026494, 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 18 Jan 2016.
