About this study

Official title: Phase I Study to Investigate Genotype-based Dose Individualization of Irinotecan in Asian Cancer Patients

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of irinotecan in treating Asian patients with solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of irinotecan hydrochloride according to the genotype status of Asian patients with solid tumors.

Secondary

  • To investigate the pharmacokinetics of irinotecan hydrochloride and its metabolites SN-38 and SN-38G.
  • To evaluate time to tumor response, response duration, and time to progression in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to genotype status (UGT1A1*28 vs UGT1A1*6)

Patients receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV once weekly for 3 weeks. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo blood sample collection periodically for pharmacogenetic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic studies.

Being tested
irinotecan hydrochloride, pharmacogenomic studies, pharmacological study
Keywords
unspecified adult solid tumor, protocol specific

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Four RegimensOtherThe study has four type of regimens, and dosing of irinotecan depends on genotype of patient. Four Regimens are: 1. Weekly Irinotecan (Irinotecan given at day 1, 8 and 15) every four weekly 2. Weekly Xeliri ( Irinotecan given at day 1, 8 and 15)+ (Xeloda tabs 2000mg/m2 consumed over 14 days) every three weekly 3. Three-weekly Xeliri (Irinotecan given at day 1 only) + (Xeloda tabs 2000mg/m2 consumed over 14 days) every three weekly 4. Two-weekly FOLFIRI (Irinotecan given at day 1 only) + (CI Fluorouracil 600mg/m2 over 22hrs, IV Folinic Acid 200mg/m2 over 2hrs and IVP Fluorouracil 400mg/m2) every two weekly
Receives: Drug: irinotecan hydrochloride; Other: pharmacogenomic studies; Other: pharmacological study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing irinotecan hydrochloride, pharmacogenomic studies and pharmacological study in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by National Cancer Centre, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 31 Mar 2017. 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 Singapore. 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?

Dose-limiting toxicity (time frame: No time frame defined. Trial is still recruiting.). 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 31 Mar 2017.
