Trial summary

RATIONALE: Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Read more about this study

Show all 12Show fewer
  • Gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication or a requirement for IV alimentation, or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption.
  • HIV-positive patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy are excluded from the study because of possible pharmacokinetic interactions with lapatinib. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Lapatinib (GW572016) in Combination With Weekly Ixabepilone (BMS 247550) in Advanced Solid Tumors

RATIONALE: Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lapatinib together with ixabepilone may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lapatinib given together with ixabepilone in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of lapatinib ditosylate in combination with ixabepilone in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Secondary

  • To determine the maximum-tolerated dose of this regimen in these patients.
  • To assess, preliminarily, the efficacy of this regimen in these patients.
  • To perform laboratory correlative studies on tissue and blood specimens from these patients to investigate potential predictors of response.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study.

Patients receive oral lapatinib ditosylate once daily on days 1-28 and ixabepilone IV on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Archival tumor tissue samples are collected for EGFR/HER2 pathway analyses via immunohistochemistry, mRNA analysis via RT-PCR, EGFR mutation analyses, Kras and braf mutation analysis via sequencing, and RAS mutations via PCR and sequencing. Blood samples are also collected periodically for tumor DNA and proteomics, acetylated alpha-tubulin analysis, EGFR-HER2 pathway genotypes, and pharmacogenomics.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed for 30 days.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ixabepiloneDrug

    Also called Ixempra

    This intravenous treatment will be performed on an outpatient basis. Ixabepilone (15 - 20mg/m2) will be given weekly for 3 weeks, then one week off, every 28 days (4 weeks). The study doctor will decide how long to keep the participant on this treatment based on how the participant is tolerating the drug and how it is affecting the tumor.

  • lapatinib ditosylateDrug

    Also called Tykerb/Tyverb

    Lapatinib (1000-1500 mg) will be administered orally on a daily basis. The study doctor will decide how long to keep the participant on this treatment based on how the participant is tolerating the drug and how it is affecting the tumor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ixabepilone and lapatinib ditosylate in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by University of California, Davis at 4 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 13 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of funding). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Safety and Toxicity (time frame: Toxicity will be assessed at the beginning of every cycle and on day 8 and 15 of every cycle for at least eight weeks (2 cycles). Maximum of 6 cycles.). 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 28 Mar 2012.
