17-Dimethylaminoethylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG) in Treating Patients With Metastatic Solid Tumors or Tumors That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery

Phase 1
Conditions
Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
Registration Number
NCT00248521
Lead Sponsor
Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG), work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 17-DMAG in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors or tumors that cannot be removed by surgery.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicity, and recommended phase II dose of 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG) in patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors.

* Determine the feasibility, safety, and toxicity profile of this drug in these patients.

Secondary

* Determine the clinical pharmacokinetic profile of this drug in these patients.

* Determine tumor response in patients treated with this drug.

* Determine the biologically effective dose.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation, multicenter study.

Patients receive 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG) IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of 17-DMAG 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. An additional 10 patients are treated at the MTD.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 28 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 25-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.
