About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Taxotere, Cisplatin, and CPT-11 in Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the combination of taxotere, cisplatin and CPT-11, that can be given without causing severe side effects. We also want to test the safety of this drug combination and see what effects (good and bad) it has on patients with advanced cancer for which there is no known curable treatment.

Read the detailed description
  • This is a Phase I clinical trial. We are unsure of the safest and most effective dose of the drugs and therefore are planning on treating 3-6 patients with a given dose before increasing to higher dose levels.
  • Each patient will receive approximately two cycles of therapy. On day one and day eight, they will receive taxotere, cisplatin and CPT-11 intravenously. The cycle will begin again on day 22.
  • The following tests and procedures will be performed: CAT scan prior to beginning therapy, after every 2 cycles of therapy, and at the end of the study; physical exam before each course of therapy; vital signs before and with each dose of therapy; routine blood tests before starting therapy and weekly during treatment; chest x-ray and echocardiogram before starting therapy and; toxicity assessment each week of therapy.
  • Patients will remain on the study as long as their cancer responds to treatment and they do not have unacceptable side effects.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Taxotere, Cisplatin and CPT-11 in people with Solid Tumor, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 sites 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 10 inclusion and 11 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 9 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

To assess the maximum tolerated dose of weekly taxotere, cisplatin and CPT-11 in patients with incurable solid tumor malignancies. (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT00251407, 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?
