Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, calls or treatment using a real mD. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician on Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors Clinical research trials and Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors healthcare trials happen in a lot of of localities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / undertakings is to answer particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, such as Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors. Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to get healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Most times the participants receive treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors clinical trial. Human subjects often receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and may include more or frequent dr. calls, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors



Oblimersen Plus Combination Chemotherapy and Dexrazoxane in Treating Children and Adolescents With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors

For Condition: cardiac toxicity,unspecified childhood solid tumor, protocol specific
Status: Suspended
Sponsor(s): Children's Oncology Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Oblimersen may increase the effectiveness of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide by making the tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Chemoprotective drugs such as dexrazoxane may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of oblimersen plus combination chemotherapy and dexrazoxane in treating children and adolescents who have relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the dose-limiting toxic effects and recommended phase II dose of oblimersen when combined with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and dexrazoxane in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. - Determine the pharmacokinetic behavior of this regimen in these patients. - Determine, preliminarily, the antitumor activity of oblimersen in these patients. - Assess the biologic activity of oblimersen in mononuclear cells and tumor tissues, in terms of bcl-2 and related protein expression, in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of oblimersen. Patients receive oblimersen IV continuously on days 1-7. Patients also receive dexrazoxane IV followed by doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes followed by cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days 5 and 6. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously once daily beginning on day 8 and continuing until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 18 courses (1 year) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or responding disease whose shortening fraction falls below 28% by echocardiogram or whose total life-time cumulative anthracycline dose exceeds 750 mg/m^2 may receive additional courses of oblimersen and cyclophosphamide without doxorubicin and dexrazoxane. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of oblimersen until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-18 patients will be accrued for this study within 7.5-18 months.
