UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for certified medical advice, visits or professional assistance using a real physician. We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. about UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Clinical research trials and UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors health trials happen in many 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 measure the effectualness of new drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to resolve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all varieties of circumstances, like UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors. UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Some times the participants undergo professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors clinical trial. Human subjects often get the best healthcare available for their UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include additional or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (potentially life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors



UCN-01 and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

For Condition: unspecified adult solid tumor, protocol specific
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) , Beckman Research Institute
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 UCN-01 and cisplatin in treating patients who have advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of cisplatin when administered with UCN-01 in patients with advanced solid tumors. II. Assess the toxicity and potential antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study of cisplatin. Patients receive cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and UCN-01 IV continuously over 36-72 hours beginning on day 2. Treatment continues every 4 weeks for a total of 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of cisplatin 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. Patients are followed every 2-3 months for at least 1 year. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 9-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
