Phase I Pharmacokinetic Trial of Thalidomide and Docetaxel: A Regimen Based on Anti-Angiogenic Therapeutic Principles
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of docetaxel when administered with thalidomide in
patients with advanced solid tumors, multiple myeloma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Determine the dose-limiting toxicity and safety profile of this regimen in these
patients.
- Determine the plasma pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the objective tumor response and prolonged freedom from progression in
patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive oral thalidomide twice daily and docetaxel IV over 30 minutes once weekly.
Courses repeat every 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of docetaxel and thalidomide until the
maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at
which 1 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study.
