Trial Information

A Phase I Study of Weekly Oral Topotecan in Gynecologic Malignancies


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of oral topotecan hydrochloride in
patients with unresectable gynecologic malignancies.

- To determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients.

- To obtain pharmacokinetic data to assess plasma concentrations of this drug when
administered at the MTD.

Secondary

- To explore the response in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral topotecan hydrochloride on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment
repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

Patients treated at the maximum tolerated dose undergo blood sample collection periodically
on day 1 of course 1 for pharmacokinetic studies.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically* or cytologically confirmed unresectable gynecologic malignancy for
which standard curative or palliative care is not available

- All tumor types allowed NOTE: *Histologic confirmation of recurrence is not
required

- Measurable or nonmeasurable disease

- If CT scan was used to evaluate measurable disease, lesions must be clearly
defined and be ≥ 10 mm on spiral CT scan

- No "borderline tumors" or tumors with low malignant potential

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

- Karnofsky performance status 60-100%

- Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks

- ANC ≥ 1,500/μL

- Platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL

- Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL

- Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min

- AST/ALT ≤ 2.5 times ULN (< 5 times ULN if liver metastases are present)

- Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 times ULN (< 5 times ULN if liver metastases are present)

- Not pregnant or nursing

- Negative pregnancy test

- Fertile patients must use effective contraception

- Adequate intestinal function (i.e., no gastrostomy tube or requirement for IV
hydration or nutritional support)

- No severe gastrointestinal bleeding or intestinal obstruction

- No other condition that would affect gastrointestinal absorption and motility

- No septicemia, severe infection, or acute hepatitis

- No other malignancies requiring chemotherapy or radiotherapy within the past 5 years,
except skin cancer

- No concurrent severe medical problem unrelated to the malignancy that would
significantly limit full compliance with the study, expose the patient to extreme
risk, or decrease life expectancy

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

- At least 28 days since prior investigational drugs (including cytotoxic drugs)

- At least 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biologic therapy, or surgery
and recovered

- No more than 3 prior chemotherapy regimens

- No prior topotecan hydrochloride or other camptothecin analogs

- No prior radiotherapy to > 25% of the bone marrow

- No other concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, or
hormonal therapy for cancer

- No concurrent administration of any of the following:

- P-glycoprotein (ABCB1, Pgp, MDR1) inhibitors or inducers

- Breast cancer-resistant protein (ABCG2, BCRP, MXR) inhibitors or inducers

- No concurrent chronic H2 antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, or antacids for
gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or gastric or duodenal ulcers

- Intermittent antacid therapy is allowed provided it is given ≥ 6 hours prior to
and ≥ 90 minutes after study drug administration

Type of Study:

Outcome Measure:

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)
