Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

• Registration Number: NCT00003709
• Lead Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of carbendazim in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral carbendazim in patients with advanced solid tumors. II. Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of oral carbendazim in these patients. III. Characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of oral carbendazim in these patients. IV. Assess the recommended dose of oral carbendazim to be used in phase II studies. V. Determine preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. Patients receive oral carbendazim weekly for 3 weeks followed by 1 week of rest. Treatment is repeated every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of carbendazim. If dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is seen in 1 of 3 patients treated at a given dose level, 3 additional patients will be entered at the same dose level. Dose escalation continues until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience DLT. Patients are followed for up to 30 days posttreatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Up to 35 patients will be accrued for this study.
