About this study

Official title: A Phase I Clinical Trial of Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Oxaliplatin, Oral Capecitabine, With or Without Systemic Bevacizumab for Patients With Advanced Cancer Metastatic to the Liver

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of oxaliplatin and capecitabine with or without bevacizumab that can be given to patients with advanced cancer that has spread to the liver. The safety of these drug combinations will also be studied.

Read the detailed description

The Study Drugs:

Oxaliplatin is designed to keep new cancer cells from growing.

Capecitabine is designed to interfere with the growth of cancer cells.

Bevacizumab is designed to block the growth of blood vessels that supply nutrients necessary for tumor growth. This may prevent or slow down the growth of cancer cells. Bevacizumab is no longer FDA approved to treat breast cancer.

Study Groups:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be assigned to a study "arm" based on the results of your screening tests. All patients will receive oxaliplatin and capecitabine. If your doctor thinks it is in your best interest, you will also receive bevacizumab.

  • If you are in Arm 1, you will receive oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and bevacizumab.
  • If you are in Arm 2, you will receive oxaliplatin and capecitabine.

Arm 1:

You will be assigned to a dose level of capecitabine based on when you joined this study. Up to 4 dose levels of capecitabine will be tested. Up to 6 participants will be enrolled at each dose level. The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level. Each new group will receive a higher dose than the group before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. This will continue until the highest tolerable dose of capecitabine is found.

All participants will receive the same dose levels of oxaliplatin and bevacizumab.

Arm 2:

You will be assigned to a dose level of capecitabine based on when you joined this study. Up to 4 dose levels of capecitabine will be tested. Up to 6 participants will be enrolled at each dose level. The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level. Each new group will receive a higher dose than the group before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. This will continue until the highest tolerable dose of capecitabine is found.

All participants will receive the same dose levels of oxaliplatin.

Additionally, after the highest tolerable dose is found for each arm, if a certain tumor type is found to have responded well to the study drug combination, 14 participants with that tumor type will receive the study drugs at that dose level.

In each arm, after the highest tolerable dose of the study drug combination is found, up to 20 extra participants with any tumor type will receive that dose level.

Additionally, after the highest tolerable dose is found for each arm, if a certain tumor type is found to have responded well to the study drug combination, 14 participants with that tumor type will receive the study drugs at that dose level.

Catheter Placement for Study Drug Administration:

You will be hospitalized to receive the study drug combination. On the day of your admission to the hospital, you will have a catheter (a sterile flexible tube that will be placed in the hepatic artery [a blood vessel in the liver] while you are under local anesthesia) through which you will receive the study drugs. The catheter will be placed and removed during each cycle. Your doctor will explain this procedure to you in more detail, and you will be required to sign a separate consent form.

You must lay in bed for the entire time that the catheter is in place. The catheter will either be removed right after your chemotherapy or it may remain in overnight.

Study Drug Administration:

Arm 1:

After completion of oxaliplatin and bevacizumab, you will receive a total of 28 doses of capecitabine, 1 dose twice daily. You will then receive bevacizumab by vein over 1½ hours. The first time you receive bevacizumab, it will be given over 90 minutes. If you tolerate it well, the rest of the doses will be given over 30-60 minutes.

On Days 1-14 of each cycle, you will take capecitabine by mouth 2 times each day. You should take it with a cup (8 ounces) of non-carbonated water within 30 minutes after a meal.

Arm 2:

On Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, you will receive oxaliplatin through the catheter over 2 hours.

After completion of oxaliplatin and bevacizumab, you will receive a total of 28 doses of capecitabine, 1 dose twice daily. You should take it with a cup (8 ounces) of non-carbonated water within 30 minutes after a meal.

Study Visits:

At each study visit, you will be asked about any other drugs you may be taking and about any side effects you may be having.

On Day 1 of each cycle:

  • You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your weight and vital signs.
  • Blood (about 4 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • Blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn to test your blood's ability to clot.
  • If you are able to become pregnant, you will have a urine pregnancy test.

At the end of every even cycle (Cycles 2, 4, 6, and so on):

  • Blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn to test for tumor markers.
  • You will have scans to check the status of the disease. This may include a chest x-ray, CT scan, MRI scan, a PET scan, and/or a PET/CT scan. If the study doctor thinks it is more appropriate for you, other types of scans may need to be performed.

Length of Study:

You may continue taking the study drug combination for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drug combination if the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur.

If the disease is only in your liver and you have responded to treatment, you may be eligible to receive surgery. If eligible, you will receive surgery 6 weeks after taking your last dose of study drugs if you are in Arm 1 or 4 weeks after taking your last dose of study drugs if you are in Arm 2. The study doctor will discuss this with you in more detail and you will sign a separate consent form if you have surgery.

Your participation on the study will be over once you have completed the follow-up visit.

Follow-Up Visit:

About 6 weeks after your last dose of study drugs, the following tests and procedures will be performed:

  • You will have a physical exam.
  • Blood (about 3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • You will have a CT scan, MRI scan, PET scan, or PET/CT scan to check the status of the disease. If the study doctor thinks it is in your best interest, other types of scans may also be performed.

This is an investigational study. Oxaliplatin is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of colorectal cancer. Bevacizumab is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of colorectal and lung cancers. Capecitabine is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of colorectal and breast cancers.

Giving the study drugs together for advanced cancer is investigational.

Up to 116 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Hepatic Arterial IUnfusion (HAI) Oxaliplatin, with Oral Capecitabine, with or without Systemic Intravenous Bevacizumab

    If more than 33% of patients enrolled in any particular dose level develop dose limiting toxicity (DLT), treatment will continue at dose level immediately below. If not more than 33% of the patients in cohort develop DLT, this cohort considered MTD. DLT defined as any grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity as defined in current version of NCI CTCAE, even if related to study medications (except nausea and vomiting, electrolyte imbalances responsive to appropriate regimens or alopecia), any grade 4 nausea or vomiting > 5 days despite maximum anti-nausea regimens, and any other grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity including symptoms/signs of vascular leak or cytokine release syndrome, but excluding alopecia; grade 4 thrombocytopenia; any grade 4 neutropenia of more than seven days duration, despite supportive care or associated with bleeding and/or sepsis; or any severe or life-threatening complication or abnormality not covered in NCI CTCAE. MTD defined by DLTs that occur in first cycle.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine and Bevacizumab in people with Advanced Cancers, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 10 inclusion and 9 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 15 Mar 2019. 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?

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 (MTD) of Hepatic Arterial IUnfusion (HAI) Oxaliplatin, with Oral Capecitabine, with or without Systemic Intravenous Bevacizumab (time frame: First 21 day cycle). 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 15 Mar 2019.
