Clinical Trial Summary

In patients with pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma, what is the response rate to combined Oxaliplatin (ELOXATIN®) and Gemcitabine chemotherapy?


Clinical Trial Description

Oxaliplatin (ELOXATIN®) is an organoplatinum complex which exerts its cytotoxic effect chiefly through inhibition of tumoral DNA synthesis and repair, leading to cellular apoptosis. The antiproliferative activity of oxaliplatin has been shown to approximate that of cisplatin or carboplatin in different tumor types.

This is a phase II clinical trial of Oxaliplatin (ELOXATIN®) plus gemcitabine as first or secondline chemotherapy for patients with malignant pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma. This study aims to determine the objective tumor response rate for Oxaliplatin plus gemcitabine given every 14 days in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma and/or malignant peritoneal mesothelioma who have no more than one prior chemotherapy regimen. A total of 29 patients are expected to be enrolled in the study, each with a participation duration of 6 months.

Patients will be screened using standard health care assessments and tests. All of these tests must be done within 4 weeks before patients begin treatment. Patients who are deemed eligible will start the treatment cycle, defined as an interval of 14 days, and comprising of treatment with Gemcitabine followed immediately by Oxaliplatin. The study drugs will be administered in the following manner: Gemcitabine, at 1000 mg/m² IV infusion over 90 minutes, then Oxaliplatin, at 100 mg/m² IV infusion over 2 hours.

In the absence of specific indications for discontinuation of study drugs, patients will routinely be offered 6 cycles of therapy. Further cycles may be given if in the opinion of the investigator this is in the patient's best interest. ;
