A Phase I Study of Oxaliplatin in Adult Cancer Patients With Impaired Renal Function
Oxaliplatin is a diaminocyclohexane platinum derivative with known anticancer activity in
solid tumors. The recommended single-agent dose of Oxaliplatin in adult cancer patients
with normal renal function is 130 mg/m(2) given intravenously over 2 hours every 3 weeks.
Renal excretion is thought to be the major route of drug elimination, but precise dosing
guidelines in patients with abnormal renal function have not been determined. This phase I
and pharmacologic study of single agent Oxaliplatin is being conducted in adult cancer
patients with impaired renal function. Patients will be stratified into four groups based
upon their degree of renal impairment as assessed by a 24 hour creatinine clearance. Group
A will consist of 12 patients with normal renal function who will serve as pharmacologic
controls. The remaining 3 groups will start at different doses of Oxaliplatin based upon
their degree of renal dysfunction and dose escalation in these groups will proceed in a
manner in accordance with standard phase I trials with 3 patients per dose level until dose
limiting toxicity is observed. Pharmacokinetic monitoring will be performed in all patients
on study. The goals of this trial are to define the toxicities and pharmacokinetics of
single agent Oxaliplatin in this patient population and to determine recommended doses of
Oxaliplatin in patient with different degrees of renal dysfunction.
