About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Dosage-finding and Pharmacokinetic Study of Intravenous Topotecan and Oral Erlotinib in Adults With Refractory Solid Tumors

The purpose of this research study is to determine the best dose of the combination of two approved drugs, intravenous topotecan and oral erlotinib.

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives of this trial include:

  • To determine the maximum tolerated dosage (MTD) of intravenous topotecan when given in combination with oral erlotinib.
  • To define the dosage-limiting toxicities (DLT) of this combination.
  • To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of intravenous topotecan with and without erlotinib

The secondary objectives include:

  • To evaluate the pharmacodynamic effect of the topotecan and erlotinib combination
  • To evaluate for any correlations between the presence of CYP3A4/5 polymorphisms and topotecan / erlotinib disposition and to measure the frequency of MDR1 and BCRP in peripheral blood samples and correlate these results with topotecan pharmacokinetics
  • To measure the frequency of UGT genotypes in peripheral blood samples
  • To evaluate the objective response rate using the RECIST criteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dosage (MTD) of Intravenous Topotecan When Given in Combination With Oral Erlotinib

    The MTD of topotecan was determined using a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation cohort design. The total sample and the number of patients who receive each dose in this design depends on the frequency of dose limiting toxicities (DLT) at each dosage. If 0 out of 3 patients experience a DLT at a given dosage level, 3 patients will be enrolled at the next dosage level. If greater than or equal to 2 patients experience a DLT at a given dosage level, dosage escalation will be stopped. If 1 out of 3 patients experience a DLT at a given dosage level, 3 patients are enrolled at the same dosage level.

    Measured: MTD was assessed during the first cycle of combination topotecan and erlotinib therapy (days 1-21).

  2. Dosage Limiting Toxicities

    Measured: DLT were assessed during the first cycle of combination topotecan and erlotinib therapy (days 1-21)

  3. Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Intravenous Topotecan With and Without Erlotinib (Mean Clearance)

    Measured: Day 1 Week 1 and Day 1 Week 3

  4. Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Intravenous Topotecan With and Without Erlotinib (Renal Clearance)

    Measured: Day 1 Week 1 and Day 1 Week 3

  5. Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Intravenous Topotecan With and Without Erlotinib (Dose-Normalized AUC)

    Measured: Day 1 Week 1 and Day 1 Week 3

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pharmacogenetic Analysis (CYP3A4/5 Polymorphisms, UGT1A1, BCRP, and MDR1 Genotypes)

    Each subgroup lists the gene on which a polymorphism occurred (e.g., CYP3A4), the name of the polymorphism (e.g., *1), whether it was heterozygous or a variant, the number of subjects with available data, and the number who had the polymorphism.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Objective Response (as Determined Using RECIST 1.0 Criteria)

    Measured: Every 6 weeks until the end of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Topotecan and Erlotinib in people with Metastatic Solid Tumor, run by Accelerated Community Oncology Research Network 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 9 inclusion and 10 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 22 Aug 2011. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jul 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Dosage (MTD) of Intravenous Topotecan When Given in Combination With Oral Erlotinib (time frame: MTD was assessed during the first cycle of combination topotecan and erlotinib therapy (days 1-21).). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Aug 2011.
