About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Dose Escalation Clinical Study Of Hepatic Intraarterial Cisplatin, In Combination With Systemic Intravenous Liposomal Doxorubicin Administered Every Four Weeks to Patients With Advanced Cancer And Dominant Liver Involvement

The goal of this clinical research study is find the highest safe dose of cisplatin that can be given with liposomal doxorubicin in the treatment of advanced cancer involving the liver.

PRIMARY Objectives:

To determine the toxicity and safety of a monthly cytotoxic regimen combining intraarterial hepatic (HAI) cisplatin with systemic intravenous liposomal doxorubicin in patients with cancer metastatic to the liver.

SECONDARY Objectives:

To document in a descriptive fashion the antitumor efficacy of monthly hepatic intraarterial cisplatin in combination with systemic liposomal doxorubicin.

Read the detailed description

Cisplatin and Liposomal Doxorubicin are chemotherapy drugs designed to fight cancer growth.

If you are eligible to take part in this study, you will enter a treatment period that is divided into cycles. Each cycle is 28 days. You will be hospitalized to receive your chemotherapy. The night of the hospital admission you will receive fluids (normal saline) in your veins to help avoid kidney side effects from the chemotherapy. The morning after your admission to the hospital you will be taken to the interventional radiology suite and a catheter will be placed in your right groin. You must be on bedrest the entire time that the catheter is in place. After the procedure, you will go to Nuclear Medicine and a test called "flow study" will be carried out to confirm the right position of the catheter. After your return to the room, the nurses will start the chemotherapy. You will first receive cisplatin through the groin catheter followed by the liposomal doxorubicin given in one of your veins. The treatment lasts less than three hours and is repeated once every month.

The catheter will be carefully taped so it can not move and to prevent it from coming out. Following completion of chemotherapy infusion, the intra-arterial catheter will be pulled and pressure applied to the groin for 15 minutes. In some cases, the catheter will be removed immediately after your chemotherapy infusions is complete. In some cases, the catheter will remain in longer. You will be on bedrest until the catheter is removed. The catheter will be removed by the physician on call. The catheter will be placed and removed at each treatment.

Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for blood counts and liver function tests before each dose to be sure researchers are safely giving you the liposomal doxorubicin.

Since most of the blood flow to your liver comes through the portal vein, your doctors will try to cause an infarct (like a stroke) to the liver artery followed by the injection of cisplatin to kill the tumor cells.

You will be seen by a doctor or advanced practice practitioner every day while you are in the hospital. You will be hospitalized for about 5-7 days until recovery from all immediate treatment related side effects.

You will continue to receive therapy as mentioned above until the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur.

At the end of your participation in this study, you will have scans to see if your tumors are growing or shrinking, and blood work (about 3 teaspoons) to make sure your blood counts and the electrolytes (salts in your blood), kidney and liver function are at a safe level.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

    Measured: With each 4 week cycle (28 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cisplatin and Liposomal Doxorubicin in people with Advanced Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 10 inclusion and 9 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 2 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 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 (MTD) (time frame: With each 4 week cycle (28 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 2 Aug 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
