Trial Information

A Phase I Study Of Carboplatin And Irinotecan In Patients 1-21 Years Of Age With Refractory Solid Tumors


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of carboplatin and
irinotecan in children with refractory solid tumors.

- Determine the safety profile and dose-limiting toxic effects of this regimen in these
patients.

- Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the preliminary anti-tumor activity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of carboplatin and irinotecan.

Patients receive carboplatin IV over 50 minutes on day 1 and irinotecan IV over 1 hour on
days 1-5 and 8-12. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of carboplatin and irinotecan until the
maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at
which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed for at least 30 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-9
months.
