Trial Information

Phase I Dose Escalation Study of UCN-01 (NSC 638850) Plus Cisplatin in Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of cisplatin when administered with UCN-01 in
patients with advanced solid tumors.

- Assess the toxicity and potential antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

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.
