Trial summary

Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of PS-341 (NSC 681239), Carboplatin, and Etoposide in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors Refractory to Standard Therapy

Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining bortezomib with carboplatin and etoposide in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib, carboplatin, and etoposide in patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard therapy.

II. Evaluate biologic effects of bortezomib on relevant targets in the tumor tissues of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of bortezomib, etoposide, and carboplatin.

Patients receive bortezomib IV on days 1 and 8, carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1, and etoposide IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of bortezomib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 or more of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, 6 additional patients with newly diagnosed, chemotherapy-naive extensive stage small cell lung cancer, and 6 patients with other tumor types, are treated at that dose.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-27 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-14 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD defined as the dose level below the dose level that results in DLT in >= 2 of 6 new patients assessed using NCI CTC version 2.0

    Measured: 21 days

  2. Biological data

    The variation of these samples as a function of dose and time will be analyzed to define the mathematical function (e.g. linear, exponential, logistic) that best fits and models the data.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing bortezomib, carboplatin and etoposide in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 34 inclusion and 0 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 7 Feb 2013. 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?

MTD defined as the dose level below the dose level that results in DLT in >= 2 of 6 new patients assessed using NCI CTC version 2.0 (time frame: 21 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 7 Feb 2013.
