A Phase I Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous CCI-779 Given Once Daily for 5 Days Every 2 Weeks to Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CCI-779 in
patients with advanced solid tumors (part I) who are not receiving anticonvulsant
therapy.

- Determine the safety, tolerability, and MTD in patients with recurrent gliomas or brain
metastases (part II) who are receiving anticonvulsant therapy.

- Determine the preliminary pharmacokinetic profile and antitumor activity of CCI-779 in
these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation study.

- Part I: Patients receive CCI-779 IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5, followed by a 9 day
rest period. Treatment courses repeat every 2 weeks in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The maximum tolerated dose for part I is defined as the dose level at which 33% of patients
experience dose limiting toxicity.

- Part II: Patients receive the same treatment schedule as part I. Three patients with
CNS tumors are entered at the dose of CCI-779 determined to be the MTD in Part I. At
least 3 patients are entered at each dose level in part II.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20 patients will be accrued for part I for this study
within 8 months, and 12 patients will be accrued for part II within 7 months.
