A Trial of MGI 114 in Children With Solid Tumors: A Pediatric Oncology Group Phase I Cooperative Agreement Study


OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicity of
6-hydroxymethylacylfulvene (MGI-114) in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory
solid tumors.

II. Determine the incidence and severity of other toxic effects of MGI-114. III. Determine a
safe and tolerable dose of MGI-114 to be used in phase II studies.

IV. Determine the pharmacokinetics of MGI-114 in these patients. V. Determine preliminary
evidence of antitumor activity of MGI-114 against recurrent or refractory pediatric solid
tumors.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. If the dose limiting toxicity is myelosuppression
in stratum 1, then stratum 1 is closed and stratum 2 opens.

Stratum 2 consists of the following: patients receiving no more than 2 prior chemotherapy
regimens; patients who have not received prior central axis radiation or bone marrow
transplantation; and patients with no known bone marrow involvement. Patients receive
intravenous 6-hydroxymethylacylfulvene over 10 minutes daily for 5 days. The course is
repeated every 28 days unless disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects are
observed. Patients with stable or responding disease may receive up to 1 year of therapy. If
dose limiting toxicity occurs in 2 of 6 patients at a given dose level, then dose escalation
ceases and the next lower dose is declared the maximum tolerated dose. Dose escalation will
not occur until all patients within a cohort have been observed for 28 days from day 1 of
therapy. Patients are followed until death.
