We aren't mDs. Always consult your doctor on FR901228 in Treating Children with Refractory or Recurrent Solid Tumors or Leukemia conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. FR901228 in Treating Children with Refractory or Recurrent Solid Tumors or Leukemia Clinical research trials and FR901228 in Treating Children with Refractory or Recurrent Solid Tumors or Leukemia healthcare trials take place in a lot of of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectiveness of new does drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to figure out specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to find cures for all varieties of conditions, like FR901228 in Treating Children with Refractory or Recurrent Solid Tumors or Leukemia. FR901228 in Treating Children with Refractory or Recurrent Solid Tumors or Leukemia Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to access health treatment options before they are available to the masses. Many times the subjects receive professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a FR901228 in Treating Children with Refractory or Recurrent Solid Tumors or Leukemia clinical trial.

FR901228 in Treating Children with Refractory or Recurrent Solid Tumors or Leukemia



FR901228 in Treating Children with Refractory or Recurrent Solid Tumors or Leukemia

For Condition: unspecified childhood solid tumor, protocol specific,relapsing chronic myelogenous leukemia,childhood chronic myelogenous leukemia,recurrent childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia,refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia,recurrent childhood acute myeloid leukemia
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Children's Oncology Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of FR901228 in treating children who have refractory or recurrentsolid tumors or leukemia.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of FR901228 in pediatric patients with refractory or recurrent solid tumors. - Determine the dose-limiting toxic effects of this drug in these patients. - Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. - Assess tolerability of this drug at the solid tumor MTD in patients with refractory or recurrent leukemia. - Determine, preliminarily, the antitumor activity of this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients receive FR901228 IV over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients with solid tumors receive escalating doses of FR901228 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Cohorts of 3 patients (6 patients total) with leukemia receive FR901228 as above at the MTD. Patients are followed for survival. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-36 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
