Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: GSAO may stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of GSAO in treating patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to therapy.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the maximum-tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of angiogenesis inhibitor GSAO in patients with advanced, refractory solid tumors.
  • To assess the safety and toxicity profile and dose-limiting toxicity of this drug in these patients.

Secondary

  • To determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
  • To determine the pharmacodynamics of this drug in these patients.
  • To determine possible anti-tumor activity in patients treatment with this drug.

Inclusion Criteria

  • DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Histologically confirmed advanced solid tumor
  • Refractory to conventional treatment or for which no conventional therapy exists
  • Disease assessable by DCE-MRI and should be of a size that can be adequately assessed by these techniques
  • No known primary brain tumors or brain metastases
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • WHO performance status 0-1
  • Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
  • Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10^9/L
  • Neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L
  • Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 times ULN
  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (uncorrected value)
  • Serum potassium and magnesium normal
  • No proteinuria > grade 1 either on 24-hour urine or on 2 consecutive dipsticks taken no less than 1 week apart
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception 4 weeks prior to, during, and for 6 months after completion of study therapy
  • Not at high medical risk due to non-malignant systemic disease, including active uncontrolled infection
  • No serologically positive hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV
  • No concurrent congestive heart failure or prior NYHA class III-IV cardiac disease
  • None of the following medical conditions:
  • Angina (stable or severe, even if well controlled on medication)
  • Myocardial infarction in the past 2 months by ECG
  • Congestive cardiac failure
  • Arrhythmias, including any condition associated with QTc prolongation (e.g., Lange-Neilson syndrome or Romano Ward syndrome)
  • Evidence of ischemia
  • QTc > 480 msec
  • Other clinically significant abnormalities
  • No uncontrolled hypertension (defined as BP consistently greater than 160/100 mm Hg irrespective of medication)
  • No other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would not make the patient a good candidate for this clinical trial
  • No pacemakers
  • No metal fragments in the eyes or shrapnel or bullet injuries
  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • See Disease Characteristics
  • Recovered from all prior treatments (except for alopecia or certain grade 1 toxicities which, in the opinion of the investigator and Cancer Research UK, should not exclude the patient)
  • At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons), endocrine therapy, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas and mitomycin C)
  • At least 1 week since prior and no concurrent shellfish
  • At least 6 weeks since prior major surgery (including thoracic and/or abdominal surgery) and recovered
  • Concurrent luteinizing-hormone releasing-hormone (LHRH) analogues allowed for patients with castration-refractory prostate cancer provided the prostate-specific antigen level is rising
  • No prior heart or brain surgery
  • No concurrent drug known to prolong the QTc interval
  • No concurrent warfarin (1 mg for maintenance of a Hickman line is acceptable) or heparin (flushing of arterial lines, if necessary, is acceptable)
  • No concurrent naproxen (other NSAIDs are acceptable)
  • No concurrent prophylactic use of antiemetics during the first treatment
  • Domperidone and lorazepam must not be used as antiemetics
  • No other concurrent anticancer therapy or investigational drugs
  • Concurrent bisphosphonates allowed

Exclusion Criteria

  • Not provided

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Dose-limiting toxicity

Causality of each adverse event and grading severity according to NCI CTCAE Version 3.0

Secondary Outcomes

  • Relationship between pharmacokinetics and toxicity and/or markers of efficacy
  • Changes in microvascular function using DCE-MRI
  • Plasma and tumor levels of angiogenic factors and apoptosis markers
  • Response (stable disease, partial response, or complete response) as determined by RECIST criteria
  • Circulating endothelial cells and circulating endothelial progenitor cells as a marker of inhibition of angiogenesis
