PHASE I EVALUATION OF TOPOTECAN IN COMBINATION WITH PACLITAXEL AND CARBOPLATIN


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated doses of combined topotecan, paclitaxel, and
carboplatin (TOPO/TAX/CBDCA) with or without filgrastim (G-CSF) in patients with advanced
solid tumors or lymphomas. II. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these
patients. III. Determine the pharmacokinetics of TOPO/TAX/CBDCA and whether TAX/CBDCA will
affect the pharmacokinetics of TOPO on day 1 as compared to TOPO administered alone on day
3. IV. Describe any clinical responses observed in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of the combination
topotecan/paclitaxel/carboplatin. Patients are stratified according to prior chemotherapy
and radiotherapy (yes vs no). Part I: Patients receive topotecan IV on days 1-3 and
paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes, on day 1. Part II:
Patients receive topotecan, paclitaxel, and carboplatin as in part I, plus filgrastim
(G-CSF) on days 6-19. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of
topotecan/paclitaxel/carboplatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The
MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting
toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 4
years.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically proven advanced solid tumor or lymphoma that is
refractory to standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists or for which the
drugs used in this regimen constitute standard therapy Brain metastasis eligible provided:
