Initial Clinical Evaluation of the Combination of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin With Modulation of Toxicity With GCSF and Amifostine
OBJECTIVES: I. Establish the maximum tolerated dose of a paclitaxel and carboplatin
combination modulated by amifostine and filgrastim (G-CSF) in patients with recurrent or
metastatic cancer. II. Define the dose limiting toxicity of this combination in these
patients. III. Observe any antitumor responses in patients treated with this combination.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of paclitaxel. Patients receive a 10 minute
infusion of amifostine followed by paclitaxel given intravenously over 3 hours followed by
carboplatin given over 30 minutes. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is given subcutaneously daily for up
to 10 days by self administration starting the following day. Treatment repeats every 28
days for at least 3 courses unless disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
Patients who develop dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) on a given course receive one dose level
lower on the next and subsequent courses. Patients with stable disease may continue
treatment for as long as benefit is shown. In the absence of DLT in the first 3 patients
treated, subsequent cohorts of 3 patients each receive escalating doses of paclitaxel on the
same schedule. If DLT occurs in 1 of 3 patients at a given dose level, then 3 additional
patients are added at that dose. If DLT occurs in 1 additional patient, this dose is the
maximum tolerated dose (MTD); if DLT occurs in more than 2 patients, then 3 additional
patients are added at the previous dose. If DLT occurs in no more than 2 of 6 patients, this
dose is considered the MTD. At any dose, 3 cases of DLT leads to discontinuation of
recruitment at that dose.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 24 patients will be accrued for this study within 18
months.
