Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed solid tumor or lymphoma that is appropriate for treatment with irinotecan.
  • 18 years or older
  • ECOG performance status 0-1
  • Life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks.
  • Normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • leukocytes ≥ 3,000/μl
Show all 17Show fewer
  • absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/μl
  • platelets ≥ 100,000/μl
  • total bilirubin within normal institutional limits
  • AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X institutional ULN (≤5 X ULN in patients with hepatic metastases)
  • creatinine within normal institutional limits OR
  • glomerular filtration rate ≥50 ml/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal as calculated by the modified MDRD equation recommended by the National Kidney Disease Education Program
  • Measurable or assessable disease.
  • Able to understand and the willing to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men and their partners must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation.
  • Patients with UGT1A1 genotype 6/6, 6/7, and 7/7. Patients with either one or two of the rare alleles (i.e., 5 allele and 8 allele), and carriers of the *6 allele will not be enrolled in the study. Patients will have blood drawn for genotyping upon signing the informed consent form for this study.
  • Patients taking any statin therapy should interrupt the dosing of the statin for the 3 days before and after the administration of irinotecan at each cycle

Who cannot join

  • Biologic therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or investigational agent within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study.
  • Cannot be receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Use of colony growth factor within 3 week prior to study entry.
  • Post-transplant patients, as they may be subject to severe neutropenia.
  • Uncontrolled brain metastases. Patients with brain metastases must have stable neurologic status off of steroids and anticonvulsants for at least 4 weeks and must be without neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because irinotecan is an agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Breastfeeding should be stopped.
  • HIV-positive patients, as patients with immune deficiency are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy.
  • History of inflammatory bowel disease requiring therapy or patients with chronic diarrhea syndromes or paralytic ileus.
  • Patients who have undergone a major surgical procedure, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to start of therapy cannot participate.
  • Patients with prior pelvic irradiation cannot participate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Irinotecan in people with Advanced Cancer, run by University of Chicago at 2 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 17 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 4 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

maximum tolerated dose (time frame: 3 weeks). The study lists 2 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 4 Jan 2017.
