Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors and Liver Dysfunction
This study has been completed.

Criteria

Other specific inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply. In order to determine eligibility, further examination by the investigator is necessary.

Inclusion Criteria: Histological proof of malignant solid tumor that is refractory to standard forms of therapy or for which no known curative therapy exists; Measurable or evaluable disease; At least 6 weeks since prior chemotherapy with nitrosoureas; At least 28 days since prior anticancer therapy and recovered; At least 4 weeks since prior radiation therapy and recovered; Age 18 years or older; SWOG 0-2; Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks; Segmented neutrophils with bands at least 1,500/mm3; Hemoglobin at least 9.0 g/dL and platelet count at least 100,000/mm3; Prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time no greater than 2.0 times control; INR no greater than 3.0 times control; Concurrent use of coumadin allowed only if dose is stable and prothrombin time and INR is stable; Total serum bilirubin at least 1.5 but no greater than 5.0 times upper limit of normal; SGOT/SGPT no greater than 5 times upper limit of normal; SGOT/SGPT at least 1.5 but no greater than 20.0 times upper limit of normal; Creatinine no greater than 2

Exclusion Criteria: Patients expressing tumor markers as their only evidence of disease or who have previously irradiated areas that have not increased in size; Prior chemotherapy treatment with irinotecan and mitomycin; Prior abdominal and/or pelvic radiation therapy; Current history of hepatitis B infection or positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen; Hepatic encephalopathy including somnolence, confusion, or asterixis; History of myocardial infarction within 6 months or history of congestive heart failure (CHF); clinical evidence of CHF; Evidence of arrhythmia in patients with history of cardiac arrhythmia; Uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, active CHF, or serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia; Interstitial pneumonia or fibroid lung (patients must have large pleural effusions drained and sclerosed or controlled prior to study; patients must have clinically apparent ascites drained prior to irinotecan treatment); CNS metastases or carcinomatous meningitis; Concurrent use of anticonvulsants; Active or uncontroll
