Trial Information

Phase I Study Evaluating the Feasibility of Chemotherapy With Capecitabine, Irinotecan, and Oxaliplatin in Patients With Metastatic Carcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities of capecitabine.

Secondary

- Determine the recommended phase II dose of capecitabine.

- Define the toxicity profile.

- Evaluate potential antitumor activity in terms of objective response, duration of
response, and time to disease progression.

- Evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of capecitabine and irinotecan hydrochloride.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of capecitabine conducted in two parts.

- Part I: Patients receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes on day 1 and oral
capecitabine twice daily on days 1-7. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for up to 6
months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of up to 6 patients receive escalating doses (up to 5 dosages) of capecitabine. The
maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose at which 50% of patients experience
toxicity during the first 2 courses of therapy.

- Part II: Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours and irinotecan hydrochloride IV
over 90 minutes on day 1 and oral capecitabine on days 1-7. Treatment repeats every 2
weeks for up to 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.

Cohorts of up to 6 patients receive escalating doses (up to 7 dosages) of capecitabine. The
MTD is defined as in part I.
