Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Albumin-Stabilized Nanoparticle Formulation in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and carboplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation together with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects, the best way to give, and the best dose of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation when given together with carboplatin in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

  • Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Abraxane [Time Frame: 28 days] [Designated as safety issue: No]To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Abraxane weekly days 1, 8, 15 with a carboplatin dose of AUC=6 given on day 1 of a 28 day cycle
  • Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Abraxane given with Carboplatin [Time Frame: 21 days] [Designated as safety issue: No]To determine the MTD of Abraxane given every 3 weeks with carboplatin given on day 1 of a 21 day cycle
  • Sequence-dependent toxicity [Time Frame: 28 days] [Designated as safety issue: No]To determine if there is any correlation to toxicity based on the order Abraxane and carboplatin are adminstered

Official TitleA Phase I Trial of Carboplatin and Abraxane in Patients With Solid Tumors
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle
formulation and carboplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either
by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized
nanoparticle formulation together with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects, the best way to give, and the best
dose of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation when given together with
carboplatin in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized
nanoparticle formulation given once weekly for 3 weeks when administered with
carboplatin given once every 4 weeks.

- Determine the MTD of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation given once
every 3 weeks when administered with carboplatin given once every 3 weeks.

- Determine the MTD of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation given in
weeks 1 and 2 when administered with carboplatin given once every 3 weeks.

- Evaluate sequence-dependent effects on toxicity and pharmacokinetics in the combination
of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and carboplatin.

Secondary

- Explore the antitumor activity of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle
formulation given once weekly or once every 3 weeks.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

- Arm I: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and paclitaxel
albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes 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.

- Arm II: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and paclitaxel
albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment
repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

- Arm III: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and paclitaxel
albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8.
Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients in arms I and II undergo blood sample collection periodically for pharmacokinetic
studies.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 30 days.
