  • There is no limit on prior therapies
  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • Leukocytes >= 3,000/ul
  • Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/ul
  • Platelets >= 100,000/ul
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Total bilirubin =< 1.5 mg/dL

  • Creatinine clearance >= 50 mL/min as calculated by the Cockroft-Gault formula
  • Patients with no >= grade 2 (Common Toxicity Criteria [CTC] 2.0) neuropathy
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to entering the study
  • Patients undergoing therapy with other investigational agents
  • Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other toxicities
  • History of allergy to platinum compounds or to antiemetics appropriate for administration in conjunction with protocol-directed chemotherapy
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, or unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia
  • Pregnant and nursing women are excluded from this study because oxaliplatin is a DNA alkylating agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Oxaliplatin, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin in Combination With Oral Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced Malignancy

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of capecitabine when given together with oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil in treating patients with advanced cancer that is metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. 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.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To establish the MTD and toxicity profile of oral capecitabine in combination with q 2 weekly intravenous oxaliplatin in patients with advanced malignancies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of capecitabine at the recommended phase II dose for combinations of capecitabine, oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin, as well as for the combination of capecitabine and oxaliplatin.

II. To observe for and record any antitumor activity.

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

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours, leucovorin calcium IV, and fluorouracil IV on days 1 and 15. Patients also receive oral capecitabine every 8 hours on days 1-2 and 15-16. Leucovorin calcium and fluorouracil administration is held at dose level 4 and above. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MTD, defined as the highest dose level which results in DLT in fewer than 2/6 patients, graded according to the NCI CTC version 2.0

    Measured: Up to 28 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Incidence of adverse events, graded according to NCI CTC version 2.0

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  2. Overall survival

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  3. Time to progression

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  4. Duration of response

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium and fluorouracil in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. 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 11 Dec 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?

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?

MTD, defined as the highest dose level which results in DLT in fewer than 2/6 patients, graded according to the NCI CTC version 2.0 (time frame: Up to 28 days). 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 11 Dec 2013.
