Basic Trial Information

PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
Phase ITreatmentClosed18 and overNCIMAYO-MC0311
NCI-6240, NCT00074321, 6240

Objectives

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine in patients with unresectable solid tumors.
  2. Determine the activity of this regimen in these patients.
  3. Determine the toxicity profile, especially pertaining to hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicity, of this regimen in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed solid tumor for which there is no known standard therapy that is potentially curative or capable of extending life expectancy
    • Unresectable disease


  • Willing to provide biologic specimens to determine UGT1A1 genotype


  • No CNS metastases
    • Prior CNS metastases allowed provided patient was treated with surgery and/or radiotherapy and is stable for more than 8 weeks


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy

  • More than 4 weeks since prior biologic therapy
  • More than 4 weeks since prior immunotherapy
  • No concurrent immunotherapy
  • No concurrent prophylactic colony-stimulating factor therapy

Chemotherapy

  • More than 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy (6 weeks for mitomycin or nitrosoureas) and recovered
  • No other concurrent chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy

  • Not specified

Radiotherapy

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • More than 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy
  • No prior radiotherapy to more than 25% of the bone marrow
  • No concurrent radiotherapy

Surgery

  • See Disease Characteristics

Other

  • No other concurrent investigational therapy
  • No concurrent sorivudine, brivudine, lamivudine, or stavudine
  • No concurrent enrollment in any other study involving a pharmacologic agent for symptom control or therapeutic intent

  • Hemoglobin at least 9.0 g/dL

Hepatic

  • Bilirubin no greater than upper limit of normal (ULN) for patients with 6/6 UGT1A1 genotype (1.5 times ULN for patients with 6/7 [closed to accrual as of 8/24/06] or 7/7 UGT1A1 genotype)
  • AST no greater than 3 times ULN (5 times ULN if there is liver involvement)

Renal

  • Creatinine no greater than 1.5 times ULN

Cardiovascular

  • No New York Heart Association class III or IV heart disease

Other

  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • No prior allergy to platinum compounds, irinotecan, or to antiemetics or antidiarrheals appropriate for administration with study therapy
  • No uncontrolled infection
  • No seizure disorder
  • No peripheral neuropathy grade 2 or greater

Expected Enrollment

84

A total of 54-84 patients (12-22 for stratum I, 18-28 for stratum II [closed to accrual as of 8/24/06] , and 24-34 for stratum III) will be accrued for this study within approximately 4.4 years.

Outline

This is a dose-escalation study. Patients are stratified according to UGT1A1 genotype (6/6 vs 6/7 [closed to accrual as of 8/24/06] vs 7/7).

Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes and oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 2-15. Courses repeat every 3 weeks.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, an additional 6-10 patients (for a total of 12 patients) receive treatment at that dose.

Patients are followed at 3 months.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
