Paclitaxel in Treating Older Patients With Solid Tumors

July 12, 2016 updated by: Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology

Clinical Pharmacology of Paclitaxel in Relation to Patient Age

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating older patients who have solid tumors.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine whether there is a relationship between pharmacokinetic measurements of paclitaxel and aging.
  • Determine whether there is a relationship between the toxic effects of paclitaxel and aging.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to age (cohort 1: patients 55 to 64 vs cohort 2: patients 65 to 75 vs cohort 3: patients 75 and over).
