Trial summary

RATIONALE: Pemetrexed may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of ALIMTA Plus Oxaliplatin Administered Every Other Week in the Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Cancer

RATIONALE: Pemetrexed may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving pemetrexed together with oxaliplatin may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of pemetrexed given together with oxaliplatin in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors or lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase II dose of pemetrexed disodium in combination with oxaliplatin in patients with metastatic solid tumors or lymphoma.

Secondary

  • Determine the quantitative and qualitative toxicities of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine, preliminarily, the efficacy of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes and oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of pemetrexed disodium and oxaliplatin 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. Once the MTD is determined, the recommended phase II dose will be identified.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 30 days and then periodically thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 36 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing oxaliplatin and pemetrexed disodium in people with Lymphoma and Solid Tumor, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram 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?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 30 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 18 Apr 2011. 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. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00470405, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Apr 2011.
