Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol SpecificPhase 1NCT00112892
Irinotecan and Selenium in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
A Phase 1 study testing selenium and irinotecan hydrochloride in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Selenium may allow higher doses of irinotecan to be given. Giving irinotecan together with selenium may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase I and Pharmacokinetic Study of Selenomethionine With Fixed Dose Irinotecan in Advanced Solid Tumors
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Selenium may allow higher doses of irinotecan to be given. Giving irinotecan together with selenium may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of selenium when given together with irinotecan in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the optimal loading and maintenance doses of selenium necessary to achieve selenium concentrations exceeding 15 μM when administered with irinotecan in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Secondary
- Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine any observed tumor response to this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of selenium.
Patients receive a loading dose* of oral selenium twice daily on days -6 to 0. Patients then receive oral selenium once daily on days 1-42 and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
NOTE: *The loading dose is administered prior to course 1 only.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of selenium 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. At least 6 patients are treated at the MTD.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 2-36 patients will be accrued for this study within 18 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing selenium and irinotecan hydrochloride in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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?
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 13 Jan 2014. 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?
Maximum tolerated dose. 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 NCT00112892, 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 13 Jan 2014.
