Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study is a Phase I trial. A total of 3 - 9 patients will be enrolled. Three patients will initially be enrolled. There will be no dose escalation in this study as only one dose for perifosine (50 mg) in combination with one dose of capecitabine (1000 mg/m2 BID) will be evaluated. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined in which fewer than 33% of patients experienced DLT attributable to the study drug(s), when at least six patients have been treated at that dose and are evaluable for toxicity. Pharmacokinetic (PK) data will also be evaluated from all enrolled patients.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety and tolerability of the combination of perifosine and capecitabine (i.e., dose limiting toxicity)
Time Frame: Every 3 weeks after dosing

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined in which fewer than 33% of patients experienced dose limiting toxicity (DLT) attributable to the study drug(s), when at least six patients were treated at that dose and are evaluable for toxicity. A DLT will be defined as any of the following deemed to be related to study drug(s):

  • Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity except alopecia not reversible to Grade 2 or less within 96 hours
  • Any Grade 4 toxicity DLT will be based on the first cycle of treatment (first 21 days). Toxicity will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 3.0. To be evaluable for toxicity, a patient must receive at least 1 complete course of treatment or have experienced DLT.
Every 3 weeks after dosing

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Best overall response
Time Frame: Every 3 cycles after dosing (length of one cycle is 21 days)

The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started).

Response Evaluation Criteria in solid tumors (RECIST): Measurable disease is defined as the presence of at least one measurable lesion. Measurable lesions are lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension and fit one of the following criteria:

  1. Longest diameter ≥ 20 mm using conventional techniques, or
  2. ≥ 10 mm with spiral CT scan.
Every 3 cycles after dosing (length of one cycle is 21 days)
Time to progression
Time Frame: Every 3 cycles after dosing (length of one cycle is 21 days)

This is the interval from the initiation of treatment to the time of documented, objective progression using the same methods of evaluation that were used at baseline.

In order for a patient to be regarded as having progressive disease, the following criteria must be met:

  1. The site of disease must have been evaluated either at baseline or while receiving study medication. Both evaluations must use the same methodology.
  2. PET scan results will not be used as evidence of either progression or response..
Every 3 cycles after dosing (length of one cycle is 21 days)
Pharmacokinetic (PK) data for the combination of perifosine and capecitabine
Time Frame: Up to cyle 5 no pharmacokinetic samples were obtained. Cycle 1/Day 11 until Cycle 4/Day 11: pharmacokinetic samples obtained 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after dosing
PK data will also be evaluated from all enrolled patients. PK analyses will present peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) as well as Area under the plasma concentration verus time curve (AUC).
Up to cyle 5 no pharmacokinetic samples were obtained. Cycle 1/Day 11 until Cycle 4/Day 11: pharmacokinetic samples obtained 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after dosing
