About this study

Official title: An Open-Labeled, Non-Randomized Phase I Study of Alvocidib (Flavopiridol) Administered With Irinotecan (CPT-11) and Fluorouracil/Leucovorin in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

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. This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of combination chemotherapy in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of flavopiridol (alvocidib) when administered with irinotecan hydrochloride, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

II. Determine the clinical pharmacokinetics of fluorouracil when administered in this regimen in these patients.

III. Determine, preliminarily, the therapeutic activity of this regimen in these patients.Correlate the role of p21 and Drg1 with apoptosis and treatment response in patients receiving this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of alvocidib and fluorouracil (5-FU).

Patients receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes followed 5 hours later by leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours and alvocidib IV over 1 hour immediately followed by 5-FU IV continuously over 48 hours beginning on day 1 of weeks 1, 3, and 5. Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of alvocidib and 5-FU until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Ten additional patients are treated at the MTD.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 27-77 patients will be accrued for this study within 11-38 months.

Being tested
alvocidib, irinotecan hydrochloride, fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD of biweekly flavopiridol when given in conjunction with irinotecan hydrochloride, fluorouracil, and leucovorin

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical pharmacokinetics of the regimen under investigation

    Measured: Day 1, prior to flavopiridol infusion (t=3:30hr), post flavopiridol infusion (t=4:30hr), prior to flavopiridol infusion (t=3:30hr), post 30 minute flavopiridol bolus (t=4:00), post 4 hour flavopiridol infusion (t=8:00hr)

  2. Therapeutic activity of flavopiridol in combination with irinotecan hydrochloride in patients with advanced solid tumors

    Measured: Up to 7 years

  3. Change in molecular marker expression

    Measured: Baseline to 2 weeks post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing alvocidib, irinotecan hydrochloride and fluorouracil 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 30 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 4 Jun 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 biweekly flavopiridol when given in conjunction with irinotecan hydrochloride, fluorouracil, and leucovorin (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 4 Jun 2013.
