About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Docetaxel and PTK787 in Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients and Recurrent or Refractory Gynecological Cancer Patients

The main purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, PTK787, is safe and to find the highest dose that can be given safely without causing serious side effects.

Read the detailed description
  • Patients will come to the clinic once a week to receive study treatment. To help reduce the chance of an allergic reaction patients will take Decadron tablets orally the night before, the morning of and the evening of receiving chemotherapy.
  • The lead-in schedule of dosing is as follows: Day 1: Taxotere intravenously; Day 4: PTK787 orally; Day 14: Taxotere and PTK787.
  • After the lead-in schedule, a cycle will consist of 28 days. PTK787 will be given orally once a day without interruption. Taxotere will be given on Day 1, Day 8, Day 15 and Day 22.
  • Before each dose of Taxotere, blood tests, urine tests, and a physical exam will be done. A radiological evaluation will be done every two months. If the patients tumor remains stable or shrinks in size, they may continue to stay on the study.
  • Patients should not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice during this study.

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?
