Oxaliplatin and Bortezomib in Treating Patients With Advanced Cancer

Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase I and Pharmacokinetic Study of Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin™) in Combination With Bortezomib (PS-341, Velcade™) in Patients With Advanced Malignancy

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

Phase I trial to study the effect on the body of combining oxaliplatin with bortezomib in treating patients who have metastatic or unresectable cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as oxaliplatin use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Combining oxaliplatin with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of oxaliplatin and bortezomib in patients with advanced malignancy.

II. Determine the dose-limiting toxicity of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients. IV. Determine the antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients. V. Determine the pattern of neurotoxicity and its reversibility in patients responding to prolonged administration of this treatment regimen.

VI. Determine whether the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oxaliplatin or bortezomib are altered by the administration of the other agent in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 15 and bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 15, and 18. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of oxaliplatin and bortezomib until the maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) are determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed for at least 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 4-15 months. ;
