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