Objectives

I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of ZD0473 and doxorubicin HCl liposome 
in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors or lymphoma.

II. Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this regimen 
in this patient population.

III. Determine the pharmacokinetics of these drugs in this patient population.

IV. Determine the antitumor activity of this regimen in this patient 
population.

Expected Enrollment

Approximately 24 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 60 minutes followed by 
ZD0473 IV over 60 minutes on day 1.  Treatment repeats every 28 days for a 
maximum of 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable 
toxicity.  Patients with partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) may 
continue treatment until disease progression or until 2 courses after maximum 
response.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of doxorubicin HCl liposome 
and ZD0473 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.  The MTD is 
defined as the dose at which 2 of 3 or 3 of 6 patients experience 
dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 4 weeks and 3 months.  Patients with PR or CR ongoing 
continue follow-up every 3 months until relapse.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
