Prospective Evaluation of Body Surface Area (BSA) as a Determinant of Paclitaxel Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics in Women With Solid Tumors


OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the relationships between body surface area (BSA) and toxic effects,
BSA and pharmacokinetics, and pharmacokinetics and toxic effects in women with recurrent
solid tumors who receive a fixed total dose of paclitaxel. II. Determine the toxic effects
of paclitaxel in these patients. III. Assess the pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel in these
patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive single fixed dose intravenous paclitaxel over 3 hours on day 1.
Blood samples must be drawn prior to the first paclitaxel infusion and then at 1, 6, and 24
hours after the start of the infusion during course 1 only. Treatment courses of intravenous
paclitaxel are repeated every 3 weeks at the discretion of the treating physician. Patients
are evaluated for response after the second course. Patients are followed at the discretion
of the physician.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued over 13 months.
