Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol SpecificPhase 1NCT00006047
Combination Therapy With Oral 9-Nitrocamptothecin & Oral Etoposide
A Phase 1 study testing Oral Etoposide and Oral 9-Nitrocamptothecin in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site in United States.
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 nitrocamptothecin plus etoposide in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phase I Study of Combination Therapy With Oral 9-Nitrocamptothecin and Oral Etoposide
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 nitrocamptothecin plus etoposide in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose limiting toxicity, and safety of nitrocamptothecin when administered with etoposide in patients with advanced solid tumors. II. Determine the changes in expression and activity of topoisomerase I and II which occur during administration of this treatment regimen in these patients. III. Determine the plasma pharmacokinetics of this treatment regimen in these patients. IV. Compare the hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities with this treatment regimen in patients 70 years of age and older versus patients younger than 70 years of age.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of nitrocamptothecin. Patients receive oral nitrocamptothecin on days 1-3 and oral etoposide on days 4-5 each week. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of nitrocamptothecin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicities. Patients are followed every 4 weeks until toxicities resolve.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 40-60 patients will be accrued for this study over 18 to 24 months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)
Determine the MTD of nitrocamptothecin. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of nitrocamptothecin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicities.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Oral Etoposide and Oral 9-Nitrocamptothecin in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2012. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
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 26 Sep 2012.
