Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

June 10, 2010 updated by: Case Comprehensive Cancer Center

Phase I Study of Oxaliplatin (NSC# 266046), Irinotecan, and Capecitabine in Patients With Solid Tumors

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of irinotecan and capecitabine when given in combination with a fixed dose of oxaliplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the antitumor response of these patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of irinotecan and capecitabine.

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours followed 1 hour later by irinotecan IV over 30 minutes once weekly for 4 weeks. Patients also receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-5 weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of irinotecan 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.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 9-15 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-15 months.
