How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Non-Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Paclitaxel Dose escalation

A standard dose escalation strategy will be used including 3 to 6 patients at each dose level (Paclitaxel dose escalation + fixed dose of cyclophosphamide)

+ blood collection

Paclitaxel will be administered intravenously over 60 minutes, at D1, D8 and D15, at a given dose.

The Paclitaxel dose (mg/infusion) levels are as follows:

  • 40
  • 60
  • 70
  • 75
  • 80
  • 85
  • 90
Other Names:
  • Taxol

D1 to D28: 50 mg x 2/day/cycle

1 cycle = 28 days

Other Names:
  • Endoxan
At D1, D8, D15 and D21 of cycle 1 and cycle 2:2 blood samples for the correlation between clinical response and biological parameters
Experimental: Cohort extension

An additional 10 patients will be treated at the recommended dose in order to confirm the recommended paclitaxel dose

+ blood collection

D1 to D28: 50 mg x 2/day/cycle

1 cycle = 28 days

Other Names:
  • Endoxan
At D1, D8, D15 and D21 of cycle 1 and cycle 2:2 blood samples for the correlation between clinical response and biological parameters
Patients will be treated at the recommended dose in order to confirm the recommended paclitaxel dose in association with metronomic cyclophosphamide
Other Names:
  • Taxol

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Determination of the iv paclitaxel maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose in association with a fixed dose of oral cyclophosphamide
Time Frame: 28 days = cycle 1

A DLT is defined below:

  • Thrombopenia (Platelets < 25 000/mm3)
  • Impossibility to administer D8 or D15 due to hematological critera
