About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Single Agent OSI-774 (Tarceva) (NSC# 718781, IND# 63383) Followed by OSI-774 With Temozolomide for Patients With Selected Recurrent/Refractory Solid Tumors, Including Brain Tumors

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib when given with temozolomide in treating young patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving erlotinib with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of erlotinib in children with recurrent or refractory solid tumors.

II. Determine the dose-limiting toxic effects of this drug alone and with temozolomide in these patients.

III. Determine the tolerability of this regimen in these patients. IV. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine, preliminarily, the antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a 2-part, multicenter, dose-escalation study of erlotinib. Patients are stratified according to pretreatment (heavily pretreated [received more than 2 prior multiagent myelosuppressive chemotherapy regimens OR received prior craniospinal or pelvic radiotherapy or bone marrow transplantation OR has bone marrow involvement] vs less heavily pretreated).Part 1:

Patients receive oral erlotinib once daily on days 1-28. Beginning with course 2, patients also receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 23 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of erlotinib during course 1 only 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.

Part 2: Patients receive erlotinib (at the MTD) and temozolomide as in part 1.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 9-45 patients (9-24 for part 1 and up to 21 for part 2) will be accrued for this study.

    Measured: 56 days (2 courses)

  2. Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) based on the incidence of DLT as assessed by NCI CTCAE version 3.0

    Measured: 56 days (2 courses)

  3. Pharmacokinetics of erlotinib hydrochloride

    Measured: At baseline and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours of course 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing erlotinib hydrochloride, temozolomide and pharmacological study in people with Previously Treated Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma and Recurrent Childhood Brain Tumor, 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 59 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 5 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?

Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as assessed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 (time frame: 56 days (2 courses)). The study lists 3 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 5 Jun 2013.
