Cyclophosphamide and Cryoablation in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Epithelial Cancer

Early Phase 1

Conditions
Cancer
Interventions
Device: Cryoablation
Registration Number
NCT00499733
Lead Sponsor
Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cryoablation kills cancer cells by freezing them. Giving chemotherapy together with cryoablation may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving cyclophosphamide together with cryoablation works in treating patients with advanced or metastatic epithelial cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Document radiologic and/or tumor marker response to cryotherapy of tumor lesions followed by cyclophosphamide.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

Patients undergo percutaneous biopsy of the targeted lesion prior to cryoablation. Patients then undergo percutaneous or open cryotherapy of the largest or most accessible lesion on day 0. On day 3, patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour.

Tumor markers (if applicable) are assessed at baseline and monthly during study until marker progression.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for up to 3 years.
