Phase I trial of gemcitabine and CPT-11 given weekly for four weeks every six weeks.
BACKGROUND Our previous studies have shown that the in vitro cytotoxicity of gemcitabine and SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan (CPT-11), is synergistic in human tumor cell lines. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients with solid tumors, refractory to standard chemotherapy or for whom no effective therapy existed (age range 31-74; 7 female, 17 male; ECOG PS 0 = 12, 1 = 11, 2 = 1), ...
متن کاملOnce-every-2-weeks and once-weekly epoetin beta regimens: equivalency in hemodialyzed patients.
BACKGROUND Currently, less frequent than once-weekly subcutaneous epoetin administration regimens were shown to be equally effective and safe as once-weekly schedules in stable predialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients. Bioequivalency of once-every-2-weeks and once-weekly subcutaneous administration of the same total dose of epoetin beta for the maintenance phase of anemia treatment in stabl...
متن کاملDose escalation of CPT-11 in combination with oxaliplatin using an every two weeks schedule: a phase I study in advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients.
BACKGROUND To determine the dose-limiting toxicity of CPT-11 in combination with oxaliplatin, and the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose (RD) of CPT-11 using an every two weeks schedule. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study was designed to evaluate escalated doses of CPT-11 starting at 100 mg/m2 with a fixed clinically-relevant dose of 85 mg/m2 oxaliplatin given every two weeks. ...
متن کاملPhase I and pharmacokinetic study of tirapazamine (SR 4233) administered every three weeks.
Tirapazamine (SR 4233; 3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine-1,4-di-N-oxide) is a bioreductive agent exhibiting up to 200 x greater toxicity for hypoxic cells as compared to oxygenated cells. In murine studies, a selective increase in tumor kill was observed when tirapazamine was coadministered with other agents, notably cisplatin. A Phase I study of single-agent tirapazamine administered i.v. every 3 we...
متن کاملA phase I and pharmacokinetic study of ILX-295501, an oral diarylsulfonylurea, on a weekly for 3 weeks every 4-week schedule in patients with advanced solid malignancies.
PURPOSE This study was conducted to assess the feasibility of administering the oral diarylsulfonylurea (DSU) ILX-295501 on a weekly for 3 weeks every 4-week schedule. The study also sought to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ILX-295501 on this schedule, characterize its pharmacokinetic behavior, and seek preliminary evidence of anticancer activity. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The initia...
