An Open-Label Phase I Dose Escalation Trial To Evaluate The Safety And Pharmacokinetics Of Motexafin Gadolinium And Doxorubicin Chemotherapy In The Treatment Of Advanced Malignancies
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of motexafin gadolinium and doxorubicin in
patients with advanced malignancies.
- Determine the dose-limiting toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
- Evaluate the tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2
groups.
Group A:
- Course 1: Patients receive motexafin gadolinium IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 9, and
10 and doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes on day 8.
- Course 2: 28 days after the beginning of course 1, patients receive doxorubicin IV over
15 minutes.
- Courses 3-6: Beginning 21 days after course 2, patients receive doxorubicin IV over 15
minutes on day 1 and motexafin gadolinium IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment
repeats every 21 days.
Group B:
- Course 1: Patients receive motexafin gadolinium IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and
doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes on day 8.
- Course 2: 28 days after the beginning of course 1, patients receive doxorubicin IV over
15 minutes on day 1 and motexafin gadolinium IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3.
- Courses 3-6: Beginning 21 days after course 2, patients receive doxorubicin and
motexafin gadolinium as in group A.
Treatment in both groups continues for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease
progression, unacceptable toxicity, or a cumulative doxorubicin dose of 450 mg/m^2.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of doxorubicin and motexafin gadolinium
until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the highest dose
at which no more than 0 of 3 or 1 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Patients are followed at 1 and 2 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-48 patients will be accrued for this study.
