Oxaliplatin in Treating Children With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Unspecified Childhood Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
Registration Number
NCT00005844
Lead Sponsor
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
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 oxaliplatin in treating children who have advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oxaliplatin in children with advanced solid tumors.

* Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients.

* Determine the safety of this drug in these patients.

* Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

* Assess the relationship between pharmacokinetic parameters and toxicity of this regimen and response in these patients.

* Determine the anti-tumor effects of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 (every 3 weeks for up to 6 courses) OR on days 1, 14, and 28 (every 6 weeks for up to 3 courses). Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of oxaliplatin 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.

Once the MTD for dose levels 1-4 is determined, an additional cohort of 3-6 patients is accrued and treated with oxaliplatin as above every 2 weeks (for up to 9 doses).

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 6-20 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-3.3 years.
