Trial Information
A Phase I Study of the Biologic and Clinical Effects of 5-AZA-2'Deoxycytidine (DAC) in Patients With Advanced Malignancies
OBJECTIVES: I. Identify dosage level(s) of decitabine (DAC) that show biologic activity and
acceptable side effects. II. Describe the side effects and toxicity of DAC at the doses
studied. III. Determine the steady state DAC serum levels at the doses studied. IV. Document
any clinical responses to DAC.
OUTLINE: A dose escalation schedule for the administration of decitabine (DAC) is being used
to determine the MTD and biologically active dose. Patients are given two 12 hour continuous
infusions per day, for 3 days at each dose level. A minimum of 3 patients are enrolled at
each dose level until dose limiting toxicity (DLT) or biologic activity is observed. If DLT
or biologic activity is observed at a particular dose level, an additional 3 patients are
enrolled, for a total of 6. If 2 or more patients experience DLT, dose escalation is ceased.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 24 patients will be accrued for this study.
