Combination Chemotherapy With Suramin Plus Doxorubicin in Treating

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with suramin plus doxorubicin in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of suramin followed by doxorubicin in patients with advanced solid tumors. II. Describe the toxic effects of suramin with sequential doses of doxorubicin in these patients. III. Assess the development of peripheral neuropathy in patients with this treatment. IV. Assess the preliminary evidence of the antitumor effect of this regimen in these patients. VI. Explore the relationships between the pharmacokinetic parameters and potential neurotoxicity of suramin in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of doxorubicin. Patients receive suramin IV daily over 1-2 hours on days 1-4 followed by doxorubicin IV over 10-15 minutes on day 5. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 3 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or clinical deterioration. Starting from course 4, patients receive alternating courses of doxorubicin IV on day 1 every 4 weeks (courses 4, 6, 8, etc.) and suramin with doxorubicin (courses 5, 7, 9 etc.) as described above. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of doxorubicin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 or more of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Stable patients who achieve disease response and are able to receive a target cumulative dose of doxorubicin may discontinue doxorubicin and receive suramin alone every 8 weeks. Patients are followed at 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 20 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
