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.

- Determine 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 study of cisplatin.

Patients receive cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and UCN-01 IV continuously over 36-72
hours on day 2. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 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 12-18
months.
