Trial Information

Phase I Trial of Combination Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil), Vinorelbine, and Gemcitabine


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of gemcitabine, doxorubicin HCl liposome, and
vinorelbine in patients with advanced solid tumors.

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Patients receive doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 1-2.5 hours on day 1, gemcitabine IV over
30 minutes on days 1 and 8, and vinorelbine IV over 6-10 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment
continues every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of doxorubicin HCl liposome, gemcitabine,
and vinorelbine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as
the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting
toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for up to 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 9-24 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18
months.
