Carboplatin and Irinotecan in Treating Children With Refractory Solid Tumors
- Conditions
- Unspecified Childhood Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
- Registration Number
- NCT00024284
- Lead Sponsor
- Bristol-Myers Squibb
- 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 combining carboplatin and irinotecan in treating children who have refractory solid tumors.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
* Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of carboplatin and irinotecan in children with refractory solid tumors.
* Determine the safety profile and dose-limiting toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
* Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
* Determine the preliminary anti-tumor activity of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of carboplatin and irinotecan.
Patients receive carboplatin IV over 50 minutes on day 1 and irinotecan IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 and 8-12. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of carboplatin and irinotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Patients are followed for at least 30 days.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-9 months.
