Filter by:This was a phase I study aimed at identifying safe doses of DMXAA (now known as ASA404) to be used in future combination studies with chemotherapy.
Long term survival can now be achieved in 75% of cases of pediatric cancers. However, some types of tumors (ie CNS tumors) or advanced stages (metastatic sarcomas/neuroblastomas) cannot be cured by any treatment. Thus, evaluation of new drugs or combinations are strongly needed. The recommended doses have been defined in children for TMZ (200 mg/m2/d x 5 d) and TPT (1.5 mg/m2/d x 5 d). Some preclinical and clinical studies have shown activity of both drugs in some pediatric cancers. Nevertheless, the association of the two drugs has never been evaluated. The study aims to determine Maximum Tolerated Dose and dose limiting toxicities of each drug when associated and to assess efficacy of the combination.
