About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Carboplatin and Abraxane in Patients With Solid Tumors

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and carboplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation together with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects, the best way to give, and the best dose of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation when given together with carboplatin in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation given once weekly for 3 weeks when administered with carboplatin given once every 4 weeks.
  • Determine the MTD of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation given once every 3 weeks when administered with carboplatin given once every 3 weeks.
  • Determine the MTD of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation given in weeks 1 and 2 when administered with carboplatin given once every 3 weeks.
  • Evaluate sequence-dependent effects on toxicity and pharmacokinetics in the combination of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and carboplatin.

Secondary

  • Explore the antitumor activity of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation given once weekly or once every 3 weeks.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Arm II: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Arm III: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients in arms I and II undergo blood sample collection periodically for pharmacokinetic studies.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 30 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Abraxane

    To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Abraxane weekly days 1, 8, 15 with a carboplatin dose of AUC=6 given on day 1 of a 28 day cycle

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Abraxane given with Carboplatin

    To determine the MTD of Abraxane given every 3 weeks with carboplatin given on day 1 of a 21 day cycle

    Measured: 21 days

  3. Sequence-dependent toxicity

    To determine if there is any correlation to toxicity based on the order Abraxane and carboplatin are adminstered

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Carboplatin and Abraxane in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.

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 16 inclusion and 12 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 6 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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) of Abraxane (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Mar 2012.
