A Phase I Clinical And Pharmacological Study Of Pyroxamide (NSC 696085) In Patients With Advanced Malignancies
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of pyroxamide in patients with advanced
malignancies.
- Define, qualitatively and quantitatively, the dose-limiting and non-dose-limiting toxic
effects of this drug in these patients.
- Describe the pharmacologic behavior of this drug in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive pyroxamide IV continuously over 5-7 days. Courses repeat every 21 days in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of pyroxamide 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 monthly for resolution of adverse events.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 32 patients will be accrued for this study.
