Trial Information
Phase I Dose Escalation Trial of Biweekly Alimta (With Vitamin Supplementation) in Combination With Taxotere in Advanced Solid Tumor Patients
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine the maximum-tolerated dose of the combination of pemetrexed disodium and
docetaxel when administered on a day 1 and day 15 dosing schedule.
Secondary
- To specifically characterize the toxicity profile for the combination of biweekly
pemetrexed disodium and docetaxel.
- To investigate the antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors as
measured by RECIST criteria for patients with measurable disease or tumor markers for
patients with non-measurable disease.
- To determine the recommended phase II dose of the combination of pemetrexed disodium
and docetaxel on a biweekly dosing schedule.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes and docetaxel IV on days 1 and 15.
Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.
