Endostatin in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
Interventions
Biological: recombinant human endostatin
Registration Number
NCT00004229
Lead Sponsor
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Brief Summary

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of endostatin in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. Endostatin may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the optimal biologic dose of endostatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.

II. Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine the extent, frequency, and duration of tumor response in these patients on this regimen.

IV. Determine the pharmacokinetic profile and interpatient pharmacologic variability of this regimen in these patients.

V. Determine the recommended phase II dose and schedule of this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Patients undergo a biopsy during prestudy and after the second course of treatment. Patients receive endostatin IV daily for 4 weeks. Patients on dose level 1-6 receive endostatin over 20 minutes. Patients on dose level 7 receive endostatin over 40 minutes, with no treatment on day 2 of the first course only. Treatment continues every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of endostatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed for 1 month.
