About this study

Official title: An Open-Labeled Non-Randomized Phase I Study of 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxy Geldanamycin (17AAG) Administered With Irinotecan (CPT-11) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 17-AAG and irinotecan in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 17-AAG and irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of combined 17AAG and irinotecan given weekly for two weeks in a 21-day cycle that can be used for future phase II studies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To explore the effects of the combination on the expression of Hsp90 client proteins in peripheral mononuclear cells and tumor tissues. Tumor biopsies will be performed before and after 17AAG treatment in 12 patients at the MTD ("Expanded Cohort") only.

II. To investigate the clinical pharmacokinetics of intravenous 17AAG, irinotecan, and their metabolites, in this combination.

III. To obtain preliminary data on the therapeutic activity of 17AAG in combination with irinotecan in patients with advanced solid tumors.

IV. To obtain preliminary result in the relationship between tumor response and p53-status.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study.

Patients receive irinotecan IV over 30 minutes followed by 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG)* IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving stable or improved disease after course 2 may receive additional courses of treatment.

NOTE: *17-AAG is administered on days 2 and 8 during course 2 for patients treated at non-maximum tolerated doses (MTD) (dose-escalation portion) and on day 8 only during course 1 for patients treated at the MTD (expanded cohort).Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of 17-AAG and irinotecan until the 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. An additional 12 patients are treated at the MTD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing tanespimycin and irinotecan hydrochloride 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 77 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?

Maximum tolerated dose determined by dose-limiting toxicities (time frame: 21 days). 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.
