Hydralazine as a Demethylating Agent in Rectal Cancer

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinically feasible dose of Hydralazine for ~ 3 months, by virtue of its demethylating effect, will:

1. Result in re-expression of epigenetically silenced TSGs in rectal cancer specimens.

2. Decrease the global methylation in primary cancer cells compared to pre-treatment

Clinical Trial Description

This study will be conducted as a phase I/II clinical trial. In addition to determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of hydralazine, the phase I trial will be performed to identify unexpected toxicities that may occur when hydralazine is used in conjunction with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in normotensive patients with rectal cancer. Once the phase I trial is successfully completed, the phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of hydralazine in producing a demethylation effect will begin.

This phase I/II trial will require between 31 to 47 patients to complete.

• Phase I Study

The objective of this study is to determine the MTD for Hydralazine added to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy for operable recta cancer. Four dose levels of hydralazine are planned:

Dose Level 1: 150 mg/d 50 mg PO TID Dose Level 2: 200 mg/d 50 mg PO QID Dose Level 3: 225 mg/d 75 mg PO TID ;
