3-AP and Doxorubicin In Treating Patients With Metastatic or Refractory Solid Tumors
This study has been completed.

Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison
Collaborator: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by: University of Wisconsin, Madison
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00079014
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. 3-AP may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth and may help doxorubicin kill more cancer cells by making them more sensitive to the drug.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 3-AP and doxorubicin in treating patients with metastatic or refractory solid tumors.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Maximum tolerated dose at first course [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Toxicity at first and second course [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Antitumor activity at first and second course [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 36
Study Start Date: March 2004
Primary Completion Date: July 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of 3-AP (Triapine^®) when administered with doxorubicin in patients with metastatic or refractory solid tumors.

Secondary

  • Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine any antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of 3-AP (Triapine^®).

Patients receive doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes on day 1 and 3-AP (Triapine®) IV over 2 hours on days 1-4. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of 3-AP (Triapine®) 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, an additional 6 patients are treated at that dose level.

Patients are followed until disease progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-36 patients will be accrued for this study.
