Trial summary

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 oxaliplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients who have metastatic or unresectable cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Oxaliplatin in Combination With Paclitaxel

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 oxaliplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients who have metastatic or unresectable cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oxaliplatin and paclitaxel in patients with metastatic or unresectable cancer.
  • Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicities of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the therapeutic response to this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the relationship between the pharmacokinetics of this regimen and toxicity and response in these patients.
  • Determine the effects of oxaliplatin on peripheral blood cells and correlate this to pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and response in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours followed by paclitaxel IV over 1 hour 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 oxaliplatin and paclitaxel until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which no more than 1 of 6 patients experiences dose limiting toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing oxaliplatin and paclitaxel in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2013.
