About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of GTI-2040 in Combination With Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced Metastatic Solid Tumors

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of capecitabine when given together with GTI-2040 and oxaliplatin in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer or other solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. GTI-2040 may increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Giving GTI-2040 together with oxaliplatin and capecitabine may kill more tumor cells

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To establish the maximum tolerated (MTD) of a 21 day cycle of capecitabine given orally twice daily for 14 days in combination with oxaliplatin given intravenously on day 1 and GTI-2040 given as a continuous infusion over 14 days in patients with advanced metastatic solid tumors.

II. To describe the toxicities at each dose level studied.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of GTI-2040, capecitabine, and oxaliplatin when these are given in combination.

II. To evaluate levels of ribonucleotide reductase -M2 subunit (RR-M2) mRNA levels using TaqMan RT-PCR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and in tumor samples (when available). TRF support will be required and sought.

III. To quantitate changes in dCTP levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells during treatment as a surrogate marker of RR inhibition. TRF support will be required and sought.

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

Patients receive GTI-2040 IV continuously on days 1-14, oral capecitabine twice daily on days 2-15, and oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 2 of the first course. In all subsequent courses, capecitabine is administered on days 1-14, oxaliplatin is administered on day 1, and GTI-2040 is administered as in course 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of 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.

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD of the combination of GTI-2040, oxaliplatin and capecitabine based on the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as assessed by CTCAE version 3.0

    Adverse events will be summarized by grade, attribution, and organ system. Hematological and clinical chemistry laboratory results will be included in the adverse event summary.

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective response (confirmed PR and CR) according to RECIST

    Calculated with exact binomial 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: At 6 weeks

  2. Pharmacokinetics

    Peak and integrated blood levels will be summarized by dose level, and displayed in scatterplots with RR-M2 mRNA levels and changes.

    Measured: At baseline, and at 7 and 14 days after the start of infusion

  3. Change in biochemical and molecular correlates

    Molecular correlates will be analyzed descriptively in relation to clinical outcome. The association with progression-free survival or overall survival will be assessed by dichotomizing the measures of gene expression at the median (or by previously-established cut-points) and constructing Kaplan-Meier plots.

    Measured: From baseline to up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GTI-2040, oxaliplatin and capecitabine in people with Recurrent Colon Cancer and Recurrent Rectal Cancer, 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 15 inclusion and 8 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 27 Mar 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 of the combination of GTI-2040, oxaliplatin and capecitabine based on the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as assessed by CTCAE version 3.0 (time frame: 21 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 27 Mar 2013.
