3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or treatment using a real physician. We are not docs. Always confer with your mD on 3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. 3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer Clinical research trials and 3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually measure the effectiveness of new drugs. The intention of the studies / projects is to resolve certain human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for physicians, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect remedies for all forms of circumstances, like 3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer. 3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Most times the participants receive treatment for free, and every now and again they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a 3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer clinical trial. Subjects typically recieve the finest healthcare available for their 3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer condition. Hazards are a reality, nonetheless, and might include more or frequent mD trips, health risks (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer



3-AP Plus Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer

For Condition: unspecified adult solid tumor, protocol specific
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Vion Pharmaceuticals ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining 3-AP, cisplatin, and paclitaxel in treating patients who have advanced or metastatic cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety and tolerability of 3-AP, cisplatin, and paclitaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer. II. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of this regimen in these patients. IV. Determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of this regimen in these patients. V. Determine the tumor response in patients treated with this regimen. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients receive 3-AP IV continuously over 96 hours on days 1-4 and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 3. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving complete response (CR) receive 1 additional course of therapy after documented CR. Patients with partial response or stable disease may receive therapy for up to 6 months. Cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of 3-AP, paclitaxel, and cisplatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 25-30 patients will be accrued for this study.
