A Phase II, Open-Label, Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Amifostine in Patients With Cancers Receiving Outpatient Dose-intensive Cyclophosphamide, Etoposide, and Cisplatin (DICEP) Chemotherapy
OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the efficacy of amifostine in enhancing hematopoietic recovery
following cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and cisplatin therapy in patients with hematologic
malignancies and adult solid tumors.
OUTLINE: This is an open label study. Patients receive intravenous amifostine over 15
minutes daily 30 minutes prior to high dose chemotherapy on days 0-2. Cyclophosphamide is
administered over 3 hours on days 0 and 1, intravenous etoposide over 4 hours on days 0, 1,
and 2, and cisplatin over 4 hours on days 0, 1, and 2. All patients receive sargramostim
(GM-CSF) beginning on day 4. Patients receive a maximum of 2 courses of treatment (with
35-42 days between chemotherapy courses). Patients are followed for 1-5 months after
treatment.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20 patients will be accrued for this study within 12
months.
