Angiotensin-(1-7) in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Solid Tumors

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
Registration Number
NCT00471562
Lead Sponsor
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Angiotensin-(1-7) may stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of angiotensin-(1-7) in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the maximum tolerated dose of therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) in patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors.

* Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

Secondary

* Determine tumor response in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) subcutaneously on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first 3 weeks of study therapy. At least 6 patients are treated at the MTD.

Blood samples are collected from patients after the first and fifth doses of the study drug for pharmacokinetic correlative studies.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18 patients will be accrued for this study.
