About this study

Official title: A Phase I and Pharmacologic Study of the Proteasome Inhibitor PS-341 in Combination With Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining PS-341 and combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. PS-341 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining PS-341 and chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib and paclitaxel administered in combination with carboplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.

II. Compare the tolerability and efficacy of the different sequences of this regimen in these patients.

III. Determine the clinical toxic effects and pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

IV. Determine, preliminarily, the therapeutic activity of this regimen in these patients.

  1. Evaluate p53 accumulation as a marker of PS-341 activity, and the effect of paclitaxel/carboplatin on PS-341 induced accumulation of p53.

VI. Exam the effect of PS-341 on the levels of other proteasome targets, e.g. mdm2, p27, p21, cyclins B, D1,E; IκB and other ubiquitinated proteins in tumor tissue, when available.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of bortezomib and paclitaxel. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups.

Group A: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 2, 5, and 8.

Group B: Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, and 8 and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 2.

Treatment in both groups repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 6 courses of paclitaxel and carboplatin, patients with stable or responding disease may continue with bortezomib alone at the discretion of the investigator. Cohorts of 3-6 patients in each group receive escalating doses of bortezomib and paclitaxel until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24-96 patients will be accrued for this study within 25 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD of paclitaxel, bortezomib, and carboplatin defined as the highest safely-tolerated dose where =< 1 patient experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) with the next higher dose having at least 2 patients who experience DLT as assessed by CTC version 2.0

    Measured: 21 days

  2. Number of toxicity incidents as assessed by CTC Version 2.0

    Frequency distributions and other descriptive measures will form the basis of the analysis of these variables.

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. Number of responses

    Responses will be summarized by simple descriptive summary statistics delineating complete and partial responses.

    Measured: Up to 3 months

  2. Change in p53 accumulation

    Measured: From baseline to up to 3 months

  3. Change in other proteasome levels

    Measured: From baseline to up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing bortezomib, paclitaxel and carboplatin 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 29 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 16 Jan 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 of paclitaxel, bortezomib, and carboplatin defined as the highest safely-tolerated dose where =< 1 patient experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) with the next higher dose having at least 2 patients who experience DLT as assessed by 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00028587.

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 16 Jan 2013.
