Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan in treating children with refractory or advanced solid tumors who are receiving anticonvulsants.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of irinotecan in children with refractory or advanced solid tumors receiving anticonvulsants.

- Determine the dose-limiting toxicity of irinotecan in this patient population.

- Evaluate the pharmacokinetic behavior of this treatment regimen in these patients.

- Determine, preliminarily, the antitumor activity of this treatment regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to type of concurrent anticonvulsant (enzyme activating anticonvulsants vs valproic acid vs other anticonvulsants).

Patients receive irinotecan IV over 1 hour daily for 5 days. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of irinotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed every 6 months for up to 4 years and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-25 patients will be accrued for this study. ;
