About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II, Non-randomized, Multi-center, Dose-escalating, Two-stage Efficacy and Feasibility Study of the Combination of Everolimus and Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

In the investigators study the investigators combine everolimus, administrated twice daily at a fixed total dose of 10 mg continuously with capecitabine administered bid for 14 days followed by 7 days rest. In this study, capecitabine will be dose escalated.

Read the detailed description

The results form preclinical studies suggest that mTOR inhibitors are promising drugs for the treatment of various types of cancer. Everolimus seems the most attractive mTOR inhibitor because of the favourable pharmacokinetic profile and possibility of oral administration. Based on preclinical findings, mTOR inhibitors may be more efficacious when used in a rational combination with other cancer regiments like cytostatic drugs. Indeed, several multiagent combinations are being investigated in clinical trials at the moment, and the results are promising.

In our study we combine everolimus, administrated twice daily at a fixed total dose of 10 mg continuously with capecitabine administered bid for 14 days followed by 7 days rest. In this study, capecitabine will be dose escalated. The first dose level of capecitabine is 500 mg/m2 twice daily. Three patients will be enrolled per dose level, starting at dose level 1. If one of the 3 patients develops dose-limiting toxicity at any dose level, 3 other patients will start at the same dose level. If 2 or more out of these 6 patients develop DLT, no further dose escalations will be performed. The MTD will be considered to be the dose given at the previous lower level. No intrapatient dose escalation will be applied.

Once the MTD of capecitabine is established, the phase II part of the study will start in which 25 patients with various malignancies will be enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of the combination of everolimus and capecitabine.

What participants receive

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

  • EverolimusDrug

    Also called Certican

    Everolimus, administrated twice daily at a fixed total dose of 10 mg continuously.

  • CapecitabineDrug

    Also called Xeloda

    Capecitabine administered bid for 14 days followed by 7 days rest. In this study, capecitabine will be dose escalated. The first dose level of capecitabine is 500 mg/m2 twice daily.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I part: Assessment of dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose. II part: efficacy and feasibility. Primary endpoint of the study will be response rate.

    Three patients will be enrolled per dose level, starting at dose level 1. If one of the 3 patients develops dose-limiting toxicity at any dose level, 3 other patients will start at the same dose level. If 2 or more out of these 6 patients develop DLT, no further dose escalations will be performed. The MTD will be considered to be the dose given at the previous lower level. No intrapatient dose escalation will be applied.

    Measured: During treatment: assessments on day 1 every cycle (3 weeks). After treatment: every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months thereafter

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to treatment failure

    Measured: Every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months thereafter.

  2. Toxicity profile.

    Measured: During treatment: assessments on day 1 every cycle (3 weeks). After treatment: every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Everolimus and Capecitabine in people with Advanced Malignancies, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 14 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2010. 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 Netherlands. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hanneke Wilmink, MD, PhD (+31 205665955, j.w.wilmink@amc.uva.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase I part: Assessment of dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose. II part: efficacy and feasibility. Primary endpoint of the study will be response rate. (time frame: During treatment: assessments on day 1 every cycle (3 weeks). After treatment: every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months thereafter). 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 3 Mar 2010.
