A Phase I-II Intensive-Dose Ifosfamide, Carboplatin and Taxotere (IC-T) Combination Chemotherapy Followed by Autologous Stem Cell Rescue for Patients With Refractory Malignancies


OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the toxicities, safety, and antitumor activity of intensive high
dose chemotherapy consisting of ifosfamide, carboplatin, and docetaxel followed by
autologous stem cell transplantation in a variety of refractory malignancies.

OUTLINE: This is dose-escalation study of docetaxel. Cohorts of at least 4 patients each
receive escalating doses of docetaxel IV over 11 hours as a continuous infusion 2 times
daily in combination with constant doses of ifosfamide IV over 60 minutes daily and
carboplatin IV over 60 minutes daily on days -6, -5, -4, and -3. On day 0, patients receive
autologous stem cell (or bone marrow) transplantation. If 1 or 2 of 4 patients experience
dose limiting toxicity (DLT), 4 additional patients are entered at the same dose level. If 3
or more of 4 or 8 patients experience DLT, there is no further dose escalation and 6
additional patients are entered at the preceding dose level. The maximum tolerated dose is
defined as the dose level immediately preceding the level that caused DLT in greater than
50% of patients. Patients are followed at 3 and 6 months and then semiannually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued into this study.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically confirmed malignancy Malignant lymphoma -
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Intermediate and high grade (aggressive) histology with primary
refractory disease or relapsed following standard therapy - Hodgkin's disease Relapsed or
refractory after 2 regimens of curative therapy - No CNS disease that has not responded to
standard therapy prior to bone marrow transplantation Breast cancer Stage IV disease,
refractory, or relapsed after doxorubicin based first line therapy Ovarian cancer Primary
refractory disease or relapsed after first line chemotherapy Testicular cancer Relapsed or
refractory disease after 2 regimens of chemotherapy Other malignancies Recurrent or
refractory to standard chemotherapy regimens, but with documented responses to a minimum
of 2 courses of a docetaxel based chemotherapy Must not be greater than 60 days past
completion of adjuvant or induction therapy Prior history of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
tumor involvement without symptoms or signs allowed provided the CSF is now free of
disease on lumbar puncture and CT scan of the brain No active leptomeningeal involvement
or brain metastases No severe symptomatic CNS disease Hormone receptor status: Not
specified

NOTE: A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by
PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the former
terminology of "low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol
uses the former terminology.

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age: 65 and under Menopausal status: Not specified Performance
status: Karnofsky 80-100% Life expectancy: Not specified Hematopoietic: Not specified
Hepatic: Bilirubin no greater than 2.0 mg/dL SGOT and SGPT no greater than 2.5 times
normal No history of severe hepatic dysfunction Renal: Creatinine no greater than 2.0
mg/dL OR Creatinine clearance at least 60 mL/min Cardiovascular: Ejection fraction at
least 50% No major heart disease No angina pectoris No major ventricular dysrhythmias
Hypertension or congestive heart failure that is controlled with medications allowed
Pulmonary: DLCO at least 60% of normal No symptomatic obstructive or restrictive disease
Other: HIV negative No uncompensated major thyroid or adrenal dysfunction No
insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus No active infections No significant skin breakdown
from tumor or other disease Must have been seen and evaluated by a dentist for teeth
cleaning and potential sources of infection No other prior malignancy except nonmelanoma
skin cancer Not pregnant or nursing

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY: Biologic therapy: Not specified Chemotherapy: See Disease
Characteristics No prior total dose of doxorubicin or daunorubicin of 450 mg/m2 or greater
unless an endomyocardial biopsy shows less than grade 2 drug effect Endocrine therapy: Not
specified Radiotherapy: No prior pelvic irradiation Surgery: Not specified Other: No
concurrent nitroglycerin or antiarrhythmic drugs
