  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must ≥13 and ≤30 years of age at the time of study entry
  • Patients must have a histologically confirmed solid tumor malignancy at either original diagnosis or relapse for which no curative therapy exists, and which has either recurred or progressed after at least one prior systemic therapy. Patients with primary brain tumors, or those with brain metastases at time of potential enrollment, are excluded.

  • Prior Therapy: No limit is placed on the number of prior therapies. Prior treatment with irinotecan or eribulin is allowed, although patients must not have received co-administration of eribulin and irinotecan and must not have had disease progression while receiving either eribulin or irinotecan.
  • Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to entering this study.

  • Informed Consent: All patients > 18 years must sign a written informed consent. Patients < 18 years old must provide assent, and the parent or legal guardian must sign the written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy or Breast-Feeding: Patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding are not eligible for this study due to the potential for fetal or teratogenic toxicities. Negative pregnancy tests must be obtained in female patients who are post-menarchal.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Eribulin in Combination With Oral Irinotecan for Adolescent and Young Adult Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors

This IND-exempt Phase I trial will establish the recommended Phase II (RP2D) dose of eribulin in combination with fixed doses of oral irinotecan in adolescents and young adults with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. Eribulin will be administered intravenously on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle, while irinotecan will be administered orally on days 1-5.

Patients will be assigned an eribulin dose level at the time of enrollment using a 3+3 Phase I design, and there will be no intrapatient dose escalation. Once the RP2D has been established, there will be up to 10 patients enrolled in a dose expansion cohort. In absence of disease progression or toxicity, subjects may receive up to 17 cycles of therapy.

Being tested
Eribulin, Irinotecan, Cefixime

  • IrinotecanDrug

    Irinotecan will be administered orally at a fixed dose of 90 mg/m2/day on days 1 -5 of a 21-day cycle.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Eribulin + IrinotecanExperimentalEribulin will be administered intravenously on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle, while irinotecan will be administered orally on days 1-5. The oral antibiotic cefixime will be used to reduce irinotecan-associated diarrhea. Eribulin dose will be assigned at time of enrollment using a 3+ 3 Phase 1 design (ranging from 0.8 - 1.4 mg/m2/dos). The dose of irinotecan will be fixed at 90 mg/m2/day x 5 days.
Receives: Drug: Eribulin; Drug: Irinotecan; Other: Cefixime

  2. The best overall response based on RECIST 1.1 criteria

    To estimate the anti-tumor effects of the eribulin and irinotecan drug combination using RECIST 1.1 criteria

    Measured: Within 2 years

  3. The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve of eribulin in adolescent and young adult patients receiving oral irinotecan

    Pharmacokinetic measurements will be performed on days 1 and 8 of the first cycle

    Measured: 2 years

  4. The peak plasma clearance, Cmax, of eribulin in adolescent and young adult patients receiving oral irinotecan

    Pharmacokinetic measurements will be performed on Days 1 and 8 of the first cycle

    Measured: 2 years

  5. The half-life of eribulin in adolescent and young adults patients receiving oral irinotecan

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Eribulin, Irinotecan and Cefixime in people with Relapsed Solid Tumors and Refractory Solid Tumors, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 3 sites 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 24 inclusion and 19 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 15 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

The recommended Phase II dose of eribulin when used in combination with oral irinotecan (time frame: Within 2 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 15 Feb 2022.
